Nothing Sacred (FBI Agent Dan Hammer Series Book 1) (36 page)

Dedication

Today, FCG (female genital cutting, also known as “female circumcision”) rates are well above 70% in some African countries despite public criticism and government led law enforcement to reduce this practice. Other countries that share in this barbaric tradition include the Arabian Peninsula and Asia.
Larry King, Oprah Winfrey and 60 Minutes
have filmed segments on this horrific act. “In her bestselling, 1992 novel,
Possessing the Secret of Joy
, Alice Walker opened a painful door to the attention of the reading public…” 
Nothing Sacred
is dedicated to
all
women, past, present and future generations who continue to endure this appalling procedure.

Is there nothing sacred?
