Review: Never Close Your Eyes To Truth - I have always been fascinated by real stories from real people--their culture, values, environment, the things, events and people that shaped them and added to their life's purpose or passion. This true story does not disappoint! In fact, I had a hard time putting it down once I started. In terms of the writing and all else that goes into writing a book, this one is of excellent quality. The grammar and punctuation, sentence structure, editing etc., are impeccable. The author provides a map so the reader can identify key places in the story. There are photos of various family members and adequate explanations for words that the average person, unfamiliar with the various ethnicities, politics, culture and religions of Iraq would not be familiar with. Nadia does an excellent job bringing her country to life for the reader and allowing us a glimpse of what life was like before ISIS took over her beloved village and changed the lives of so many. As we look back at even our own country's history, I'm sure there are tragedies that caused alarm, suffering and great loss. Tragedies such as: JFK's assassination, the Oklahoma City Bombing, the Holocaust, 9/11/2001,Columbine and other school shootings, the Challenger explosion, Patty Hearst kidnapping, the Las Vegas shooting, Hurricane Katrina, etc. So much devastation and yet so many of us banded together, shared our stories, offered our thoughts, prayers and support. We felt compelled to be a part of the solution rather than part of the problem. We faced the ugliness head on. And then time flew by and our memories faded some. Do we ever wonder at what cost? Who will the bad guys target next? Will it be more strangers, an acquaintance or friend? Will it be one of us and our families. What and who will be left? There may always be another terrorist or evil-doer in this world. Are we prepared to look at the ugly truths so we aren't caught unaware and forced to lose the very things and people who define us? One can only hope. Nadia and her courageous story brings us a step or two closer to looking at real world problems such as genocide, terrorism and much more. She reminds us to be aware, to help others and to take a strong stand against injustice!
Review: An essential read for anyone interested in Iraq and the Middle East. - Nadia’s heart breaking personal story of the Yazidi people in Iraq at the hands of Isis is a must read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An essential read for anyone interested in Iraq and the Middle East.
*by Y***W on November 23, 2025*

Nadia’s heart breaking personal story of the Yazidi people in Iraq at the hands of Isis is a must read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ First hand account of ISIS ATTACKS on civilians
*by J***N on October 19, 2019*

An incredibly moving account of the atrocities committed by ISIS militants and their co-conspirators. The story is told simply yet is riveting from the first page. The description of Yazidi people living their lives, their beliefs descended from ancient religion, became immediately real as if the reader has known the people all along. Heartbreaking moments, triumphant moments, real grief over the cruelty of the world who failed to help these people. The reader will feel pride for those who did help the Yazidis, and will perhaps will grow richer in understanding our common human bonds from having read this book.
