FORCED TO MARRY HIM
A Lifetime Tradition and the Will to Break It
by Davinder Kaur
Narrated by: Gill Mills
Production by: Davinder Kaur
Powerful Message from a Survivor!
This is a story about Davinder Kaur who was forced to marry a man she did not know or desire to have in her life. This is a story focused on cultural beliefs about honor, obeying parents, and being faithful to a traditional thought/belief that is all too often deadly to a woman. Davinder’s own words, the words of a survivor, we hear about her fears, struggles, and more.
Davinder Kaur, the author, describes the situation she finds herself in with rich words that communicate the fear, pain, and horror but allows her to keep her dignity. Her struggle to be her own woman and the struggles she encounters when her mother willfully manipulates her placing her in deadly danger are brought to life vividly. Her ability after all she has encountered to act as an advocate and mouthpiece to stop the honor killings and forced marriages is amazing.
The narrator, Gill Mills also brings to life the book with her rich tones and unique voice. She speaks clearly and vibrantly while performing this moving book. Her flawless performance enhances the story.
This can be an uncomfortable story for some, but it is well worth the listen, and I can guarantee you will think about Davinder and her story long after the close of the book.
