Summary
In Kabul, 15-year-old Damsa runs away to avoid being forced into marriage by her family. She is helped by Shauzia who takes her to her friend Parvana's Green Valley school. When the Taliban were defeated in 2001, Parvana and Shauzia were able to reimagine their lives. But everything changed in 2021 when the Taliban rose to power again and restricted the hard-won freedoms of women and girls. With little warning, Kabul airport is shut down and danger is everywhere. And when the Taliban come to Green Valley, Parvana and Shauzia's community faces new dangers from an old enemy as Afghanistan is once again under siege
