I know that you’ve been told I am dead. But I am not dead, my dear Siawash. I am very much alive.
I am your mother. My name is Homeira. And this is my voice.
I died little by little every time I read Homeira's letters to Siawash. HELP ME. I can't stop crying. I CAN NOT. Good God ....

I can not fathom the courage and willpower that the women of Adganistan have, even to keep on living day after day let alone defy the worst face of patriarchy that ruled and still rules their country. I stand with the women of Afghanistan that see their dreams and hopes and dignity crushed once more, and I really hope that they will manage to live and leave this patriarchal hell behind.
I would love to read more stories by Dr Qaderi and other Afghani women. Happy, beautiful stories, with no fear and no tears.

*The book itself is beautifully written, informative and emotional in equal measure.
