THE LITTLE COFFEE SHOP OF KABUL by Deborah Rodriguez
This was a fabulous read. A group of five very different women (Sunny, Yazmina, Candace, Isabel and Halajan, brought together through different circumstances and become friends, meeting together in a little coffee shop in Afghanistan, one of the most dangerous places on earth. They form a unique bond and find they have much more in common than they thought, and are much stronger than they think, and through their actions set about changing things in their community in Kabul.
The story is based on the author's experiences and people she met while living in Afghanistan as a hair dresser. It is an eye opener to what women face living in Afghanistan and how terrible they are treated and punished for things that we would consider normal life.
Read more about how she came to write this book and how living in Afghanistan and returning to America has changed her life and much more on her website.
