General Comments: The remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism; of the fight for girls’ education; of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school; and of brave parents who have fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons. It is remarkable, powerful, and profoundly poignant.
