Refugee stories are too seldom hopeful. But Voice of Rebellion, the story of one of Afghanistan's most remarkable women, is an inspiration--a gripping tale of triumph and of breaking barriers. --Melissa Fleming, chief spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and author of A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea Women can see themselves in the heroine of this story, Mozhdah, and find true inspiration from her strength and courage to return to Afghanistan.
