COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Kabul Beauty School submitted by halofriendly on July 23, 2011, 9:46pm I picked this up on a whim and it didn't disappoint. What I liked best about this book is that it proves to the reader that anyone can help anyone. Rodriguez tells her story of being a hairdresser in the US and finding herself in Afghanistan with a humanitarian group feeling as though she had nothing to offer because she wasn't in the medical field. What she finds she CAN offer though, is a helping hand to the women of Afghanistan who are trying to put their lives back together, who are trying to build sisterhood, and who are trying to make a living. Rodriguez helps, but she also receives a lot of help in return.
