Summary: A tale of triumph told through the eyes of an Afghan boy. The Taliban have withdrawn from Kabul's streets, but the long shadows of their regime remain. In his short life, eleven-year-old Fawad has known more grief than most. Ever the optimist, Fawad hopes for a better life, and his dream is realized when his mother finds a position as a housekeeper for a charismatic Western woman. But life, especially in Kabul, is never without peril, and the next calamity Fawad must face is so devastating that it threatens to destroy the one thing he thought he could never lose, his love for his country.
