In 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, and the country was plunged into a bloody civil war. Over the next decade, more than a million Afghans were killed, and millions more were forced to flee their homes. Among those who fled was a young girl named Fatima.

Fatima was just seven years old when her family left Afghanistan. They settled in Pakistan, where Fatima grew up and eventually married and had children of her own. But even though she had built a new life for herself, Fatima never forgot her homeland.

In 2001, the United States invaded Afghanistan, and the Taliban regime was overthrown. Fatima saw this as an opportunity to finally return home. She packed her bags and said goodbye to her family, and she set off on a journey back to the country she had left behind.

When Fatima arrived in Afghanistan, she was shocked by what she saw. The country was still reeling from the effects of war, and the people were struggling to rebuild their lives. But Fatima was determined to find her way, and she eventually settled in Kabul, the capital city.

At first, Fatima struggled to adjust to life in Afghanistan. She had to learn to live with the constant threat of violence, and she had to find a way to support herself and her family. But slowly and surely, she began to find her place.

Fatima started working as a teacher, and she also volunteered her time at a local orphanage. She found that she had a natural ability to connect with children, and she loved being able to make a difference in their lives.

Over time, Fatima began to heal from the wounds of her past. She found peace and acceptance, and she learned to forgive those who had wronged her. She also discovered a new strength within herself, and she realized that she was capable of anything she set her mind to.

Come Back to Afghanistan is a powerful and moving memoir that tells the story of one woman's journey back to the country where she grew up. This is a story of love, loss, and redemption, and it is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the complex history of Afghanistan and the human toll of war.
