description: Fourteen-year-old Makia dreamed of a bright, exciting future away from her brutal, sadistic father. Her dream was to escape the oppression of early nineteenth century Istanbul, Turkey, a country that regarded her as being of less worth than an animal. Her dreams were cut short with her allowed sale by her father to an upcoming artist, Jacob Pierett. At first the marriage was the answer to all her prayers, but she still wanted to exert her freedom. Soon her marriage became a tortuous prison. Even the expensive lifestyle her husband afforded her was not worth her desire to be free. After the birth of her seventh child, she could no longer bear the thumb of her husband’s pressure to conform to his rule. Upon the discovery of her husband’s unforgivable deed, she knew what she must do—take control of her own life.
