Product Description
People - 4 star critics choice
'Rodriguez has written a very gutsy, real-life adventure story for
women... On hearing so many heart-rending stories from local women
decimated by Taliban rule, she opened up a beauty school to give purpose
and money-earning capacity back to then. Her trials and tribulations in
setting up the school and entering an arranged Afghan marriage not only
make fascinating reading but reveal a side to Afghanistan that few
foreigners have experienced or understood. Her courage in tackling gigantic
cultural barriers is also remarkable.'
Review

'A quirky and supremely uplifting read' (Glamour )
'Terrifically readable, and rich in personal stories.' (Kirkus Reviews )
'A terrific opening chapter—colorful, suspenseful, funny—ushers readers into the curious closed world of Afghan women....This witty and insightful (if light) memoir will be perfect for women’s reading groups and daytime talk shows.' (Publishers' Weekly starred review )
'Rodriguez has written a very gutsy, real-life adventure story for women... Her courage in tackling gigantic cultural barriers is also remarkable.' (Publishing News )
