Sometimes it takes a moment Sometimes it takes a lifetime Sometimes a lifetime is not enough In the days before the Russian occupation, Kabul\'s golden age, a tenacious young Afghan woman began a journey that we all take at some point in our lives the journey to forgive. In an unyielding land, she discovered the grace that is within every heart. As JFK floundered in the Cuban missile crisis, she fell in love. As the United States withdrew from Vietnam, her oldest son trained for the buzkashi, the wild game of Afghan polo brought to her country by Genghis Khan. As the Russians invaded Afghanistan, her husband ran guns and opium through the Khyber Pass; as they retreated, she matched wits with a beautiful Czech spy. As the Taliban ravaged Kabul, she cared for a wounded bacha bereesh, an Afghan dancing boy. As the Twin Towers burned, she found true intimacy.
