Providing an account of her battle with an abusive man and with bureaucracy, this is the story of a woman's fight against a violent and tyrannical relationship, and her struggle to reclaim her two daughters, sold into marriage in the Yemen. Mirian Kamouhi - half Pakistani, half English - met Muthana Muhsen in Birmingham in 1960, when she was 17. They never married, but had seven children, the two eldest of whom were sent to Yemen in 1966 for a holiday . Their mother, fighting ill-health and with little money, would not meet them again until they were adults.
Miriam Ali was born in Birmingham, where she still lives with her husband and her youngest son, Mo. She is co-founder and advising counsellor for Lost Children International.
Jana Wain was born in Kent and was also a co-founder of LCI and works there as a counsellor.
