Publisher's Synopsis
Leila was born, brought up and educated in France, though her family came from Morocco. But her romantic dreams were shattered when she was forced by her father to marry a man she'd never met, fifteen years older than her, and from another country. This husband she didn't love controlled, dominated and even beat her, attempting to force her into submission. With extraordinary courage, going against the weight of family tradition, Leila fought to regain her liberty and dignity. With her life in danger, she left her husband and later divorced him. And, despite the pain they inflicted on her, Leila continues to love her parents.
