A New York Times Bestseller -- Gayle Tzemach Lemmon was an ABC News reporter. She was inspired to write this book after meeting a dressmaker named Kamila Sidiqi in 2005 when she went to Afghanistan on assignment for the Financial Times to write about women entrepreneurs. Kamila Sidiqi's life changed overnight when the Taliban seized control of Kabul. Kamila had a teaching degree -- a rare achievement for an Afghan woman -- but was banned from school and confined to her home. When her father and brother were forced to flee, Kamila became the sole breadwinner for her five siblings. Armed only with grit and determination, she picked up a needle and thread and created a thriving business.
