Murder in the name of honor : the true story of one woman's heroic fight against an unbelievable crime / Rana Husseini.
Citing the thousands of "honor based" murders that claim the lives of some five thousand women in the U.S. and throughout the world, a controversial exposé reveals the ways in which women are being subjected to violent "punishments," often at the hands of family members, for the purpose of restoring a family's reputation.
