The first time when I arrived in Paris, I was with my husband in the street, and each time I saw a policeman, I stopped walking and I asked him, 'Please we have to go back to home.' Malika: When you are frightened for 20 years, and you were so scared about everything about your life first and the life of your family, you cannot be really free. Even now in Paris, do you find yourself looking and wondering? And even you try to be a normal person, even you try to live again, and you realize that you have to learn how to walk, how to speak with people.Īdrian: So you find that you're still looking over your shoulder and being really cautious?. Because this experience changed completely. Who I am after this experience? I am really free? Or what does freedom mean for me? And I think now I'm surviving, you know. Malika: It's very difficult for me because it's the main question for me every day. And I think that number one response from people who have been writing in who have read your book is how are you now? Because more than anything I think that is what your story tells us. Oprah: Malika, after reading your story, we now know that we can survive almost anything.
