The book recounts the intersecting stories of Canadian human-rights activist Nazanin Afshin-Jam and Iranian teenager Nazanin Fatehi, who faced a death sentence after defending herself against an attempted sexual assault. It follows the international campaign for Fatehi and explores human rights, violence against women, capital punishment and the ability of individual activism to draw attention to injustice.
