Description
"Shyima Hall was eight years old when her parents sold her into domestic slavery. One of eleven children, Shyima lived with her family in poverty in Egypt. When an older sister was dismissed from her job as a servant for stealing, Shyima's parents made a deal with her sister's employers. In order to repay the debt, Shyima would take her sister's place. This began Shyima's life as a slave. Her captors, a wealthy couple, referred to Shyima only as 'stupid girl' and forced her to wait hand and foot on their family. Any money she was paid for her work went directly to her parents, with whom she had very little contact. Two years into her bondage, Shyima's captors moved to the United States and illegally trafficked Shyima in with them. Modern-day slavery is a painful reality for thousands of adults and children in the world--and in the United States. This is Shyima's harrowing story of life as a child slave, and her long, inspiring road to freedom."--Page [4] cover.
