Description

Winner of the Christopher Medal and a “heart-wrenching” Al Roker’s Book Club selection at the Nowadays Show.

Zulaikha hopes. She hopes for peace, now that the Taliban have been driven from Afghanistan; a good relationship together with her hard stepmother; and in the future even to visit school, or to have her cleft palate fixed. Zulaikha knows all might be provided for her–“Inshallah,” God willing.

Then she meets Meena, who offers to show her the Afghan poetry she taught her late mother. And the Americans come to her village, promising not just new opportunities and dangers, but surgery to fix her face. These changes could mean a complete new life for Zulaikha–but can she dare to pray they are going to come true?
