An unforgettable memoir about a young woman who, kept out of school, goes on to earn a PhD from the University of Cambridge. A universal coming of age story that gets to what an education is and what it offers: the possibility to see one’s life through new eyes and the will to change it. Truly a eye opening story of what this woman had to endure and how she overcame it losing most of her family in the process not due to her dreams but due to closed mind set from her family.
