Honor Lost
I wanted to share a bit of info on a great book I just finished reading. Honor Lost
If you notice the first few 'negative' reviews are written by people who live in the country that is discussed in this book. Jordan, along with many other countries, allows Honor Killings. This book is written by a women whose best friend was killed by her own father because he found out that she was secretly dating a man. This father has the 'right' under the law to kill his wife or daughter or even sister if he feels (with no proof needed) that she is putting the family honor at stake. In fact, the man is considered a hero to many for doing it.
I highly suggest that you read this book. It reads like a novel. You will have your eyes opened about what goes on it 'modern' day Jordan. I now plan on NEVER supporting anything that country sells or does until it begins to see Women as more than property and values their lives.
