From the author of The Pearl That Broke Its Shell comes an memorable storyline of terror, success, perseverance, and anticipation that chronicles one extraordinarily courageous Afghan woman's odyssey to save lots of her family and find asylum in the West - an account of a daring get away, a perilous trek across European countries, and the courage and tenacity of one defiant woman. Mahmood's enthusiasm for his wife, Fereiba, a schoolteacher, is greater than any love she's ever before known. But their happy middle-class world - a life of education, work, and comfort - implodes when their country is engulfed in conflict and the Taliban goes up to power. Mahmood, a civil engineer, becomes a goal of the new fundamentalist regime which is murdered. Compelled to flee Kabul with her three children, Fereiba has one hope to make it through: She must find a way to cross European countries and reach her sister's family in England. With forged papers and help from kind strangers they meet on the way, Fereiba and her children make a dangerous crossing into Iran under cover of darkness. Fatigued and brokenhearted but undefeated, Fereiba manages to smuggle them so far as Greece. But in a occupied market square, their destiny takes a frightening flip when her teenage boy, Saleem, becomes separated from all of those other family. Confronted with an impossible choice, Fereiba pushes on with her child and baby while Saleem falls in to the shadowy underground network of undocumented Afghans who haunt the roadways of Europe's capitals. Fereiba and Saleem struggle to reunite and finally find a place where they can start to reconstruct their lives.
