The book is Yousafzai’s account of being the father of the girl who survived the infamous attack by Taliban while she was a teenager. It also narrates his own fight for equality.
On October 2012, 15-year old Malala was shot in the head at point-blank range by Taliban gunmen as she was on her way home in the school bus in Swat valley.
She went on to become the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 17 in recognition of her efforts for children’s rights and women’s education.
