Forbidden Lessons in a Kabul Guesthouse tells the true story of Suraya Sadeed, who gave up her U.S. lucrative business to run aid, education and hope into one of the most war-ravaged and dangerous places on earth. She went to areas where aid agencies, journalists and politicians feared to tread, defying warlords, drug traffickers, warring militias and the Taliban to bring help to those who mattered most - the suffering women and children. By camelback, bullet-pocked helicopter, ancient boat, horseback and on foot she traveled where others refused to venture, using her unquenchable spirit and her stubborn will to bring love, laughter, knowledge and caring to those who had nothing. At times beautiful, evocative and full of light, her story plumbs the depths of human suffering in a country ravaged by war – one in which Suraya never loses her humanity and her heartfelt love for those she has come to help. This incredible true story will keep readers turning the pages, and crying tears of laughter, and tears of compassion, at every turn.
