Description
Parvana's story continues in this powerful sequel to Deborah Ellis's acclaimed series. Fifteen years old and still haunted by her past, Parvana finds herself at the mercy of American troops in Afghanistan, accused of being a suspected terrorist. As she waits for her fate to be decided, she reflects on the four years that have passed since her escape from the Taliban. Parvana remembers the village where her mother has finally opened a school for girls, a beacon of hope in a country still reeling from war and suspicion. But even as the Taliban has been driven from power, many continue to view education and freedom with fear and hostility. This gripping tale explores the ongoing struggle for women's rights and education in Afghanistan, and Parvana's own journey towards healing and self-discovery.
