{"product_id":"i-choose-my-beginning-9780349020488","title":"I Choose My Beginning : A Story of Courage and Activism","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2014, Nadia Murad was living in northern Iraq when her world was shattered. Fighters from the so-called Islamic State attacked her village, massacring hundreds - including her mother and six of her brothers - and forcing her, along with thousands of Yazidi women and girls, into ISIS's system of sexual slavery. Her life since then has been split in two. In one she is a global symbol of courage - a survivor and activist who has stood before world leaders to demand justice. In the other, she is a woman learning how to be a friend, a student, a wife; a woman rediscovering ordinary joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn I Choose My Beginning , Nadia brings these two selves together. With honesty and grace, she transforms the pain of her past into a life defined not by what was done to her, but by strength, perseverance, and the freedom to choose happiness. From reshaping international law to building a life filled with friendship and love, Nadia carries the memory of those she lost and those who survived. Their presence reminds her - and all of us - that she has always been more than a victim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePowerful and deeply inspiring, I Choose My Beginning is the story of an extraordinary woman reclaiming her humanity - and showing that survival is not the end of the story. It is the beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Nadia Murad\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutobiography: historical, political \u0026amp; military, Feminism \u0026amp; feminist theory, Political activism\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 17 Sep 2026 by Little, Brown Book Group.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nadia Murad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57319660650874,"sku":"9780349020488","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9780349020488.jpg?v=1790632781","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/products\/i-choose-my-beginning-9780349020488","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
