THE LAST GIRL My Story of Captivity, and My Fight Against the Islamic State

This audiobook is a harrowing account of the ISIS targeting of the Yazedi people, particularly the women, as written by one of the survivors. Ilyana Kadushin narrates in a respectful, somber tone that belies the strength of the author. At a measured pace, she pays tribute to the many who were subjected to unspeakable atrocities, including the abduction and murder of family members, as well as sexual violence. Listeners should be aware that this is not a title to play when young or sensitive ears are present. Many will find the details disturbing, but those who can stand the descriptions of traumatic experiences will be bearing witness on behalf of Nadia Murad and hundreds like her.
