520    "When he couldn't afford to marry another woman. Soraya 
       M.'s husband plotted with four friends and a counterfeit 
       mullah to dispose of her. Together, they accused Soraya of
       adultery. Her only crime was cooking for a friend's 
       widowed husband. Exhausted by a lifetime of abuse and 
       hardship, Soraya said nothing, and the makeshift tribunal 
       took her silence as a confession of guilt. They sentenced 
       her to death by stoning: a punishment prohibited by Islam 
       but widely practiced. Day by day--sometimes minute by 
       minute--Sahebjam deftly recounts these horrendous events, 
       tracing Soraya's life with searing immediacy, from her 
       arranged marriage and the births of her children to her 
       husband's increasing cruelty and the difficult details of 
       her horrifying execution, where, by tradition, her father,
       husband, and sons hurled the first stones. A stark look at
       the intersection between culture and justice, this is one 
       woman's story, but it stands for the stories of thousands 
       of women who suffered--and continue to suffer--the same 
       fate. It is a story that must be told" --Cover, p. 4.
