Helpful Score: 2

This book is a nonfiction account of one family's struggle for survival in Afghanistan. More importantly, it is Muslim woman's story of hope and triumph in overwhelming circumstances. To hear a woman's perspective about the country and regime is unusual. It is a great addition to what has been written about that part of the world. An added bonus is that this book reads so much like a story that I had to keep reminding myself that these events are nonfiction. I read it in one sitting, something I usually cannot say about nonfiction.
