A very well written memoir about a very real tragedy that is ongoing for this poor mother of five in Pakistan. I decided to purchase this book to help her husband support his family. He and the children have been forced into hiding.
You can't help but be moved by her story. She is convicted of speaking out against the Prophet Muhammad. She is innocent...falsely accused. She is attacked for drinking out of a well that is frequented by Muslim women. Her crime is being Christian.

This is a true story of a Christian woman who languishes in a Pakistani prison for offering water to some Muslim women. It is a heart-breaking story & every Christian in the free world should read it. The story was smuggled out of prison to a French journalist living in Pakistan. All the proceeds from the book go to support Asia's family who are in hiding & under death threats. So please buy this book from Amazon in order to support Asia's (Aasiya) family--her husband, her daughters (one of whom is handicapped).
