I am an unlucky daughter who was unable to be with her father when he died. I am that same helpless sister saw her younger brother grow up. I am a woman who hasn't seen her homeland for fourteen years or been able to put her arms around her mother...Born into a wealthy family in Bangladesh, at the age of nineteen Saira Bronson was married off to a man she had never met before when her family fell on hard times. She was taken to Britain where her husband made her life a living hell and she suffered terrible physical and sexual abuse at his hands. Alone in a foreign land, unable to speak English and without the support her family, Saira had to fight for her own survival. Just hours after she had given birth she found out, through a social services interpreter, that her husband was a known paedophile and could never be allowed to be unsupervised with their new-born child. It was the final straw. For the sake of her child, she decided she had to make her escape and do what she had never been able to do before - take control of her life so that she could bring up her daughter free from fear and danger.
