With romance in her life, Gullali's life is perfect -until the Soviets invade.After ten years, the Soviets leave in defeat. Though atriumph, power turns to greed, and order in Afghanistan fades. Amidthe turmoil, the Taliban gain control over the country - and womenare the first casualty in the name of Islam.Rumors of a more tolerant Pakistan beckon Gullali and her husband, but tragedy strikes and Gullali comes to realize the Talibanis just as prevalent in Pakistan. Captive, she suffers both physically and mentally fromgender bias and religious hypocrisy.Fueled by the abuse, Gullali is determined to fight for women'srights, education, and freedom from male abuse in the name of Muslim cultureand religion.
