A Shocking, and inspiring story and healing Khadijat Quadri’s story is one of the most shocking but moving stories I have ever read. Khadijat’s journey was challenging, with many tough choices made along the way and although the events throughout this book are hard-hitting, the primary feeling associated with this book is inspiration. As Khadijat’s courage and determination to pursue a future in which she could find happiness and not let her past traumas consume her is truly beautiful. The lessons learned throughout Indigen are incredible, and I am impressed by just how much there is to learn throughout Indigen. Although Indigen is full of a wealth of insight and knowledge, all the information is useful as well as relevant to the topics explored so do not worry readers that you will be bombarded with information as this does not happen in this book!
