Kabul beauty school by Deborah Rodriguez (Paperback)

About This Book

In the ruins of post-Taliban Kabul, one woman opened a beauty school — and changed lives. Kabul Beauty School by Deborah Rodriguez is the remarkable true story of how a small-town American hairdresser travelled to Afghanistan after 9/11 and ended up founding the country's first modern beauty school. What began as a humanitarian mission became a profound journey of friendship, courage, and cross-cultural understanding, as Rodriguez and her Afghan students — women navigating unimaginable hardship — found solidarity, laughter, and hope in the most unlikely of places. Warm, funny, and deeply moving.
