The true story of how the unwanted nineteenth child of a tribal leader overcame poverty and prejudice to become the first lady of Afghani politics. Interwoven with a series of letters written to her two daughters at a time when she feared for her life; Fawzia Koofi offers hope for the future of one of the most dangerous parts of the world.
An excellent read. A 'must' for all mothers and daughters. Very moving - what hardships and cruelties the Afghan women suffered. Loved the letters before each chapter. Brilliant 'way with words', superb metaphors. Quoted passages to my own daughters.
