From the book jacket: "Very compelling. . . . Here you have a girl, a child, who suffered her own
disability, [and] the loss of her family and her homeland. She's taking
care of her aging mother and adapting to this new culture, and she's a bright, shining light in the world.
"A great twenty-first century American immigrant story. The Story of My Life is the modern American dream, and it's rich with details of the Taliban and Afghanistan."
