      abstract = {From her first humanitarian visit to Afghanistan in 1994,  Suraya Sadeed has been personally delivering relief and  hope to Afghan orphans and refugees, to women and girls in  inhuman situations deemed too dangerous for other aid  workers or for journalists. Her memoir of these missions is  as unconventional as the woman who has lived it. Born the  daughter of the governor of Kabul amid beautiful gardens  and peace, Suraya fled to the United States with her  husband and daughter in the aftermath of the 1979 Soviet  invasion. In America, she became a prosperous workaholic,  but a personal tragedy led her to question the direction of  her life. Now, dedicated to the education and welfare of  Afghan women and children, she founded Help the Afghan  Children (HTAC) to fund her efforts. Here, she shares her  story of passion, courage, and love, painting a complex  portrait of Afghanistan and its people that defies every  stereotype and invites us all to hope.--From publisher  description.},
