The Imam's Daughter

My Desperate Flight to Freedom

By: Hannah Shah

Narrated by: Christine Rendel

Hannah Shah is an Imam's daughter. She lived the life of a devout Muslim in a family of Pakistani Muslims in England, but behind the front door, she was a caged butterfly.

For many years, her father abused her in the cellar of their home. At sixteen, she discovered a plan to send her to Pakistan for an arranged marriage, and she gathered the courage to run away. Relentlessly hunted by her angry father and brothers, who were intent on executing an "honor" killing, she moved from house to house in perpetual fear to escape them. Over time, she converted to Christianity and was able to live and marry as she wished.

Hannah found the courage to live her life free from shame, free from religious intolerance, and free from the abuse that haunted her childhood. This is a remarkable true story of how a young girl escaped a life of torture . . . a story you won't forget.

only half of the story is in Audible!

c'mon - these 16 chapters are only one-half of the book. How does it end?????

Hard to listen to.

The pain of Hannah's childhood was hard to listen to, but her story is an important one to understand. Well told.

You must ask youraseld as a woman

With Islam all over the media, why are there not more audiobooks on this subject?

This book was horrifying, heartbreaking and should be read by us all.

Today, a must read!

I listened through audible and couldn't stop. A beautiful testimony, written from her heart. Thank you for sharing

Beautifully written and narrated!

I knew I would love this book, but I initially couldn’t quite enjoy the narration. The voice of the narrator and the story just didn’t seem to match at first, but then as the passion and emotion of the story began to set the tone, I decided that the voice of the narrator was perfect. She gave me goosebumps in some parts, especially the epilogue.
The writing of this book is done SO well! Hannah is so inspiring, and it’s obvious how she has overcome such horrible circumstances but still chooses love above all else.
