A remarkable story of one woman’s struggle against poverty and oppression from Annie Reed, the award-winning author of PRETTY LITTLE HORSES.
Spanning forty years, “The Shape of a Name” follows Anoosheh, a little girl orphaned during the war in Afghanistan. Rescued from a refugee camp where she shares a tent with other children maimed by the war, Anoosheh discovers a passion for learning when she’s taken to a school for handicapped children. As she grows older, Anoosheh turns her passion toward teaching other impoverished children how to become citizens of the world, a decision which brings her to the attention of the oppressive regime which rules her country.
A beautiful story of courage, hope, and the resiliency of the human spirit, “The Shape of a Name” is certain to capture the hearts and minds of readers.
"The appearance of a new Annie Reed story is a treat. Try one and you'll be hooked." —Dave Hendrickson, author of CRACKING THE ICE
