The Dressmaker of Khair Khana

In this compelling true story, Gayle Tzemach Lemmon highlights the resilience and courage of Afghan women, focusing on Kamila Sidiqi and others who, despite the oppressive rise of the Taliban, find ways to survive, reinvent themselves, and bring hope to their communities. Described as inspiring and vivid, the book challenges typical narratives by portraying women as resilient survivors deserving of respect rather than mere victims of war.
