Kabul Beauty School: An American Woman Goes Behind the Veil

Not one of my favorite books. The author/protagonist does a good job taking us to the far away land of Afghanistan and relaying the plight of many Afghan women but I was disappointed that I couldn't like the author/protagonist. By the end of the book, I found it troubling that she could travel thousands of miles to live and help others, while neglecting her own children and if the book is true to facts she exposed these women's, who shared their secrets with her, to danger.
