About this listen
Zynab lives in a small village in Afghanistan where education is deemed unnecessary for girls and even frowned upon. But Zaynab's family and life are very different from those of other girls in her village. Her father is a teacher who began teaching her Rumi's poetry when she was only five. One poem, in particular, inspires and encourages her:
"You were born with potential.
You were born with divine energy
You were born with wings.
You were born with greatness,
Fly, don't crawl."
Zynab's life is turned upside down when her mother suddenly dies from an easily treatable disease because she refuses to see a male doctor. Now, it falls to Zynab to find a way to take her blind brother to India for the surgery that will restore his eyesight. Zaynab's quest to finish high school intensifies, as she knows she'll never make enough money without a high school diploma. With the help of Cindy, a US Peace Corps nurse, and longtime family friend, Zynab sets out to achieve her education dreams and fulfill her last promise to her mother.
Zynab is inspired by actual events and portrays the real lives of girls and women in Afghanistan. It vividly shows their struggles against violence, forced marriage, and misogyny. It is a story about family bonds, redemption, friendship, and resilience in the face of despair. It takes readers beyond the headlines about war and transports them into a country with a unique culture, people, and history. Zynab's story will move, inspire, educate, and maybe even change how you think about America's longest war.

Virtual Voice is terrible
The reading is terrible, but the story is great. There are several times in that the inflection of a word seems out of place. A human voice would have made the story come alive.

No Virtual Voice Readers
Get rid of virtual voice readers. The story would have been so much more enjoyable if it had an actual human reader. Good historical lessons.
