When she gets home Parvana finds out that Nooria is planning on leaving Kabul and going to Mazar-e Sharif, to get married. Once they have left Parvana finds out that Mazar-e, is taken over by Taliban. Her father is released from jail and they both leave to find the rest of her family. Will she make it?

This book is sad but adventurous. It reveals the bare truth about Afghanistan and the laws that forbid many day to day things. I would suggest this to anybody who likes to read non-fiction with fiction combined. I would rate this book a 9/10. For another opinion read The Breadwinner.
