The Drum Made from the Skin of my Sisters

There are those born of societies with no voice for the female. There are those motivated by their silence. THE DRUM MADE FROM THE SKIN OF MY SISTERS is an inspired work.

With the power of a creative pen, Eveline Horelle Dailey presents the lives of two girls rescued and saved by American military forces. They are freed from horrific deaths. At twelve Leila from Iran gives birth to a girl, a gust of wind gives her a chance to escape immolation by her husband. Saadia from Afghanistan, at eleven has a stillborn son; she is returned her to her father. Dishonored, the only recourse is to stone her to death.

In Maine, a young widow adopts them. They learn language and alphabet. Literate they continue on to higher education.

No longer enslaved by the scars of ignorance, sexual, physical and mental abuse the girls find determination and self-assurance. Transformed and actualized, the power of their human spirit is resolved to right some wrongs.

This book enriches and captivates the heart as it provokes our thinking process.
