Mariam is only 15 when she is sent to Kabul to marry Rasheed. Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a local teenager, Laila, as strong as the ties between mother and daughter.

Love can move people to act in unexpected ways, and lead them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with startling heroism.
