- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If there was ever a time that I thanked my lucky stars for living in America, it's after reading this book. I have a new respect for African women in general and victims of FGM specifically. This is a real eye opener. I read African Studies books and fiction to understand my husband better but I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys learning about other cultures.
