This seems like such an amazing book. I love how she wasn't made to be a character that let's people I'll treat her without defending herself.

This is a good starting point for anyone looking to examine the whole aspect of religion and how it affects people's lives especially if you look at it as a true depiction of Victoria's own specific experience, rather than an educational how-to or resource guide. The fact that these are real life experiences makes the book even more authentic and enlightening. I definitely recommend this book.

Converting to Christianity from the Muslim community is usually difficult. I'm curious about this book.

The book sounds interesting and inspiring at the same. What's more fascinating is that Victoria continues to hold firmly on her Christian faith despite being bullied by others, from her peers to adults. The review is well detailed and I now know what the book is about.

A non-fiction book that will bring us to Pakistan sounds great. This book will show us the different cultures in the said country. Victoria seems been through a lot though, I wonder how she managed those bullies. Congratulations to the author for winning the BOTD.

Sounds like an inspirational story based on a true story. It's really disheartening to read how Victoria was bullied. And being asked by everyone to forgive her bullies must have been very hard. Congrats on BOTD!!

It is a great review about a book with a good storyline. However, it is not for me.

I do think it would be interesting to read and learn from the perspective of a Christian who lives in a Muslim-dominated country. I congratulate the author for Book of the Day!

I usually avoid books that have religious tensions, especially between Christians and Muslims. However, this book seems interesting so I will give it a try. Thank you for the review.

True to her name, Victoria emerged victorious! I would love to read about my namesake and how her faith kept her strong. Thanks for the review.

This book seems to have a vivid description of the culture of Pakistan and is based on immigration. Cannot say I am interested in the story but thanks for the great review!
