Description
Raza's life is one of desperation and hope. Born into poverty in Pakistan, he finds himself trapped in a strict madrassah, where his only chance at escape seems to be with Perveen, the girl who has captured his heart. Their attempt to flee together ends in failure, and their paths are torn apart as Raza is sent to fight in Afghanistan and Perveen returns home pregnant. Years later, American journalist Rachael Brown finds herself drawn into the conflict, and her chance encounter with Raza reveals a different side of the Taliban - one of desperate young men driven by circumstance rather than ideology. As the war unfolds, their lives become increasingly entwined, forcing each to confront the choices they have made and the debts they owe to the other.
