“[Gately is] a supremely gifted writer and eloquent ambassador for the people who have been banished from civilized society.”

Mark Fritz, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and author of Lost on Earth: Nomads in the New World

Booklist calls this powerful debut by Roberta Gately an "utterly engrossing read." In the months after 9/11, Boston nurse Elsa Murphy volunteers to go to Afghanistan to work in a small clinic. Although her new surroundings take some adjusting to, Elsa soon finds friendship with a young Afghani woman and potential romance with a U.S. soldier. But Elsa's newfound happiness is threatened when Taliban forces move in.
