This is a story based on a harsh reality in some countries, where females, from birth, are perceived as the men's property to dispose of as they please. This little girl is just brave enough, strong enough, has sufficient self-esteem to break free from being a sex and domestic slave. Sold into bondage, she is victim to more horrors at her young age than the majority of people go through in their entire lifetime. But then there is the flip side which left me wondering because her father truly seemed to love her, he was genuinely affectionate and caring. The set of seemingly double-standards is indeed perplexing given my Canadian upbringing. I guess it illustrates clearly enough how religious dogma and social programming take over in situations of material and emotional survival. She could have ended up as a broken and bitter woman, I'm glad she chose not to become that.
