Fifteen-year-old Parvana has rebuilt her life after being reunited with her mother and sisters. But suspicion and fear towards the education of women have put them all in danger.

  • "... ideal for older readers to gain some insight into the complexities of life in Afghanistan." - Annalise Tyler, Carousel
  • "I really felt Parvana's sense of danger and how she felt about being separated from her family. I think this book is suitable for all age groups although its topic is quite serious." - Paige Sluice, Teen Titles
