Forgotten Girls: Stories of Hope and Courage
"This is a moving and inspiring collection of personal stories about real girls from Asia to Africa surviving violence, abuse, discrimination and injustice . . . and the role of God's hand in turning lives of desperation into lives of hope. Marshall-Strom and Rickett make the facts and sociocultural realities of their worlds come alive, and they challenge us to question our own assumptions about whether or not any single person can make a difference. . . . Everyone's help is needed to truly end this oppression and abuse."

Stories of Hope and Courage
Kay Marshall-Strom and Michele Rickett
All over the world, the girl child faces starvation, displacement, illiteracy, sexual exploitation and abuse. Statistics show that the world's most oppressed are overwhelmingly female.
Moved by the plight of girls, Kay Marshall Strom and Michele Rickett travelled the globe to interview girls in some of the most difficult places in the world.
This book tells stories of deep pain, inspiring courage and hard-won hope. They are stories of God working through compassionate people to rescue and restore lives, creating new paths.
Addressing physical suffering, education, sexual abuse, prison, war and spiritual need, the authors provide practical action steps and prayer points that open avenues for you to get involved as God leads. Read, speak and pray that forgotten girls might be free and strong.
