Summary:
All over the world, women and girls face starvation, displacement, illiteracy, sexual exploitation, and abuse. In fact show that the world's most overwhelmingly oppressed people group is females. Moved by their plight, Kay Marshall Strom and Michele Rickett traveled across continent to partner with ministries working to help females and to interview girls in some of the most dangerous places for women in the world. These pages hold the stories of these girls: stories of deep pain and suffering, inspiring courage, and incredible hope. They are stories of girls who have discovered their value in God's eyes, in the midst of cultures that have rejected them. They are stories of rescue and redemption by God working through compassionate people - people like you.
