FREEDOM
By Mende Nazer
Published by Endeavour Press 29th March 2012 Priced $3.20 in e-format
Mende Nazers shocking story of modern-day slavery told first in the global best-seller Slave and later in film touched the world. It told the harrowing story of a girl from the Sudan taken into captivity, and then sold into slavery. Written by the award-winning journalist Damien Lewis, it exposed the brutality of the modern slave trade, and turned it into a major global issue. In this enthralling, moving sequel, Mende Nazer tells how in the summer of 2007 she chanced the stability of her new life to journey back to her homeland in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan. She left behind the relative security of London, her new home, to return to the war-ravaged land of her birth; she risked everything she had fought for to make contact with the family shed lost. Over an epic, harrowing journey, Mende discovers what freedom really means. It is a story that will touch the hearts of millions.

A powerful memoir...shocking and very moving...her book is an eloquent testament to the ability of a brave soul to survive, and to the need to bring an end to slavery - Susan McKay, Sunday Tribune. All the cliches of such survival stories - 'life-affirming, heart-warming'- are inadequate to describe the emotional impact of [Mende's] eventual deliverance. - The Observer. Intensely moving - Waterstones Books Quarterly. An eloquent testament to the ability of a brave soul to survive, and to the need to bring an end to slavery - Sunday Tribune.
