SHACKLED: A Journey From Political Imprisonment To Freedom – Part 1

Exciting news! My book – SHACKLED: A Journey From Political Imprisonment To Freedom – was published 3 weeks ago! It’s available on Amazon , Barnes & Noble , and other book retailers worldwide. I wrote SHACKLED alongside my grandpa, as it chronicles his life from being imprisoned for decades when he was six-years-old. The book has been receiving some incredible praise from readers already. Here’s one review from a reader: A beautiful, spellbinding historical account of Khaled Siddiq’s life with photographs throughout the book. Adam Siddiq, the author, captured the essence, magnificence, and radiance of his grandfather, Khaled Siddiq, in this remarkable and awe-inspiring true story. It takes place in Khaled’s homeland, Afghanistan. A government takeover results in terror used as an instrument to control people, and led to the imprisonment of thousands of political prisoners for many years including the very young Khaled and his many close family members. Khaled’s life, along with his family, was about survival, sorrow, bereavement, injustice, grief, and a love that transcended broken dreams. Adam’s grandfather is the embodiment of resilience powered by patience, hope, and the gift of love bestowed upon him by family and generations of ancestors. He learned patience at a young age, and held on to hope and love while he and his family endured unimaginable hardship, deprivation, and imprisonment. He witnessed indescribable cruelty and inhumanity. This story, for me, was about surviving unending darkness through the light of love. Adam Siddiq, how fortunate you are to be a recipient of your grandfather’s legacy of love. – Ilaann White [callaction button_text=”Order now” button_url=” background_color=”#333333″ text_color=”#ffffff” button_background_color=”#32a1f0″ button_text_color=”#ffffff” rounded=”true”]Read SHACKLED today.[/callaction] I’ve recorded an interview series with my grandpa.
