“As long as we are still alive, we can have everything later, we can start from scratch.”¬† ‚ÄîMy Nguyen, Kinglake¬†”I hope to feel safe in every part of Afghanistan, not just in my room.”¬† ‚ÄîSabrina Omar, Kabul¬†Kinglake had one day of disaster with far-reaching effects; Kabul has endured 30 years of war. In this remarkable collection of young people’s writing, students from schools in Kinglake and Kabul share their stories of resilience, courage, and hope.¬†In doing so they illustrate the remarkable healing quality of words and illuminate what connects us as humans. This is not a book of remembrance or a book that desires to shock, it is a book about what is best about human nature.
