I struggle to put into words how this book makes me feel.  I stumbled across the coffee shop and the beauty school in my late teens/early twenties. Hearing how there were women in the world that did not have the same freedoms and pleasures in life was heartbreaking. The authors words stuck with me and I carried them with me through life.

Saying farewell to the coffee shop, this book was heartbreaking and heartwarming all in one. Sunny's love for the people of Kabul and their love in return. 

Reading why the author choose to write a third book after the events of 2021, you can tell the words on the pages are so much more than fiction. The experiences and the emotions are all real. The pain and suffering, real.

Thank you to the author, you have changed so many people's lives from your humanitarian work but also shaped the minds of others with your words
