Farah Ahmedi

This is a memoir by a young Afghan woman who lost a leg in a land mine, obtained medical help in Germany, and ultimately came to the United States to live. She spends a lot of time talking about her experiences as a new immigrant navigating a new culture and language. Those who want to better welcome newcomers would find this book of great interest.

A really interesting book, written by a girl, an Afghan child, who lost a leg in a land mine, and her life through losing all of her family but her mother, their emigration to the US. If you think immigrants to the US have it easy, and they need to "at least learn the language", read this. YA book, but well written and def worth the read.

i like reading books by/about women in various parts of the world. this memoir was interesting because its author fled to the u.s. and wrote this book while in high school in suburban chicago.

I was deeply moved by Farah Ahmedi's story of survival, resilience, and faith. She is truly inspirational.
