This book written by Mahvish Khan describes the freedoms of America and its people versus the freedoms of the people of Afghanistan. Khan is from an immigrant family from Afghanistan but was born in America. She later learns about the prisoners that are held within Afghanistan and goes there to witness their struggles and to be their voice. She learns of her freedoms as an America but relates to those in Afghanistan because of her heritage.
This book has opened my eyes to understanding the privileges of living in America. Sometimes Americans complain about their country and government. We sometimes question our government and view some laws as unfair and favoring the rich and powerful. However true it may be, as citizens we have the power to give and take away power from their authorities. It made me grateful for being an American and having the comfort and privileges of America.
