The Story of My Life: An Afghan Girl on the Other Side of the Sky

About this book

When ABC News\'s Good Morning America asked its viewers to write essays describing true-life experiences about romance, adventure, loss, and overcoming tremendous odds, the network never imagined receiving more than twenty thousand pages of inspiring, heartbreaking, and hopeful stories. But that\'s exactly what happened. After a panel of bestselling authors and editors chose three finalists, America was given the opportunity to vote on which aspiring author would have his or her story published. The Story of My Life is the result of the most ambitious and all-inclusive search ever conducted to discover and publish an extraordinary life story. \"\'The Story of My Life,\' [is] in a certain sense, the world\'s most literate reality show.\" -- The Los Angeles Times.
