Dima Ghawi grew up in a small Christian community in Amman, Jordan, the daughter of a man with an unpredictable temper & a mother who felt a decent marriage proposal for her daughter would be an opportunity out.

You’ll hear what was expected of her in her community, how she thought her fiancé would be different, the marriage rules that proved he was not and what caused her dad to threaten to kill her. She also shares how she shifted out of survival mode to build a life beyond a survival identity.
