520    "At 15, Samra Zafar had big dreams for herself. She was 
       going to go to university, and forge her own path. Then 
       with almost no warning, those dreams were pulled away from
       her when she was suddenly married to a stranger at 17 and 
       had to leave behind her family in Pakistan to move to 
       Canada. Her new husband and his family promised that the 
       marriage and the move would be a fulfillment of her dream,
       not a betrayal of it. But as the walls of their home 
       slowly became a prison, Samra realized the promises were 
       empty ones. Desperate to get out, and refusing to give up,
       she hatched an escape plan for herself and her two 
       daughters. Somehow she found the strength to not only 
       build a new future, but to walk away from her past, 
       ignoring the pleas of her family and risking cultural 
       isolation by divorcing her husband. A Good Wife tells her 
       harrowing and inspiring story, following her from a young 
       girl with big dreams, through finding strength in the face
       of oppression and then finally battling through to 
       empowerment." --Publisher's website.
