Although I admire her enthusiasm, audacity, courage, but she is writing about tragic and unjust things, without any serious feeling about. This is ridiculous: she is "So courage", that can go against terrorist with a cigarette! She should read before write this book, other books, written by the people of Afghanistan, before she got her sleds on the stranger's door. She got married because of a sheer interest to a mujahedeen who fought the Russians during the so called Soviet Union occupation of Afghanistan, but she has no idea, that precisely during the time that the Russians were there - the girls could go to school, read books, not to cover their faces, in general, live a normal life, much like the Western people. And because of that - there were many doctors, teachers and other professionals among women. I have read some reactions of Afghan women about who is this book, in Afghanistan this book you cannot get, but the rumors are getting there too, and all of those women are calling Deborah a traitor and that she used them for her own benefit. They are living in constant danger, because of the secrets they shared with her and she used them in the book, and one of the women had to leave Afghanistan with her husband, because of constant threat of death. Deborah is saying in this book that she adores her husband. But, there are rumors, which she had to fly from Afghanistan because her afghan husband was thinking to kidnap her son. This school no longer exists. It was pure waste of resources. Instead of traveling USA-Afghanistan, Afghanistan-USA, all the time, Debora Rodriguez could use this money for charity, if is that she was trying to do. Now – she is kind of a famous speaker about sad life of woman in Afghanistan! Give me a break! And how it is possible that she leaves her two sons with her mother, while she, so saying, lives her life as she pleases in Afghanistan?
