Mozhan Marno narrates this powerful story about secrets from the past that won't stay buried. Adopted from Afghanistan as a child, Sitara Zamani finds a new life in America and grows up to be a surgeon. Marno vividly captures Sitara's gritty determination to bury memories of fleeing Kabul, the only surviving member of her family. Listeners will be drawn into a complex plot that takes listeners from Afghanistan to America, from war to the operating room. This is international literature at its finest as told by an experienced narrator. Marno maximizes the drama throughout one woman's reckoning with her past.
