LET HER FLY A Father's Journey

Narrator Adnan Kapadia gives voice to the story behind the story of the Pakistani girl whom the world came to know as Malala Yousafzai. Reading the thoughts and ruminations of her father, Ziauddin, Kapadia takes us into the intimacies of family life and parenting. He is measured, warm, and steady as he explains how he saw his daughter as equal to his sons and raised her to be comfortable asking him anything--even to get sanitary supplies from the store. We are treated to a warm fatherly persona and the inner workings of a family. Listeners will enjoy Kapadia's capable style. His consistency throughout the brief chapters gives us a sense of the steely determination that helped this family weather their considerable challenges.
