I took a small diversion from my regular non-fiction books and read this true story about a woman who helped set up a beauty school in Afghanistan. After leaving behind a bad situation in the states, she traveled as a volunteer for an NGO. The book follows her struggles figuring out how to help women earn a living after going through remarkable circumstances. I don't know that I would be brave enough to go to a country where there is a language barrier and threats to your well being on a daily basis. Props to her. In the past couple years she has had to leave everything she loved due to the threat level but she is hoping to go back. As the book drew to a close, all I could think was Deb Rodriguez is one gutsy woman.
