The Last Girl

First hand account of the genocide and atrocities committed by ISIS against the religious minority of Yazidis in Northern Iraq. Murad tells us of her upbringing, Yazidic traditions, Iraq's many communities divided by religion and ethnicity, the tumultuous years of the Iraq war, the rise of ISIS. In 2014 ISIS takes her village, kills most of the men, and takes her and all young females to become sex slaves for Islamic State militants in Mosul.

A hard book to read. Not the best written book. But absolutely worth it.

Very chilling and conflicting: Murad first had a hard time talking about what happened to her, as victims of rape bring shame to families in her culture, and honor killings do sometimes happen.
