When revolution comes to her homeland, though, her life will never be the same. She faces prejudice and cruelty when she travels to attend school in America, has her family torn apart by politics and suspicion, and faces the enormous shift in what women are allowed to do under the new regime. It will take all her courage to pull through as the heroine of her own story.
