Stolen Lives: Twenty Years in a Desert Jail by Malika Oufkir and Michèle Fitoussi

Second-in-power only to the king, General Oufkir is both hated and adored by the people of Morocco. After a failed coup d' état, however, he is killed, and the lives of his wife and six children are changed forever. His older daughter, Malika Oufkir, survived a desert jail for two decades as one of the "disappeared," along with her family. This is her story. We're also taking a look at child marriages, prevalent worldwide — including here in The States — for our theme of the week. Who allows it, and who is this ancient custom hurting?
