"I'm sorry," Laila says, marveling at how every Afghan story is marked by death and loss and imaginable grief. And yet, she sees, people find a way to survive, to go on. (4.50.59)
This is the message of the book in a nutshell. By the end of the book, Laila has realized that the most difficult parts of her life—the death of her family, Rasheed's abuse—don't define her. Like her fellow Afghans, she knows that perseverance is the only answer in the face of such adversity.
