Latifa says: "This book records past and recent events experienced by my family in my country, Afghanistan. I hope it will serve as a key to other women, those whose words are locked away, those who have hidden what they have witnessed in their hearts and in their memories. I dedicate it to all the Afghan girls and women who have kept their dignity until their last breath. To all those, deprived of their rights in their own country, who live in darkness even after the dawn of the twenty-first century. To all those women excecuted in public before the eyes of their children and loved ones, without pity, or justice. I offer it also to my mother, who has helped me every moment by giving me lessons in freedom and resistence."
