Deborah Rodriguez's book "Kabul Beauty School" was about a her life story as an adult with an abusive husband, and leaving her life behind to help out underprivileged women in Afghanistan. In Afghanistan she saw women that were beaten and abused physically and emotionally. These things were hard for her to see and she tried her hardest to do every thing she could to help them through it.
This book was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a book with day by day/journal type writing. It had suspense and was the type of book that you can't eat, can't sleep, can't put down until its done. I would be unable to comprehend why anyone would disagree.
This book was very inspirational to many young women for not only because of what Deborah Rodriguez did by giving up her life in America to go to a completely different country where women were hated just to help out women in need, but because of the women there. These women overcame so many obstacles. It made me think of all the things that I complain about and put them into prospective of how bad they really are compared to the hardships these girls have suffered.

Once your world is ripped out from in front of your eyes, do you ever get to see it clear again? This was a question Sterling, a small town in NH, faced with after a revengeful high school student got what he wanted on March 6, 2007. Jodi Picoult describes the tragedies this town is faced with in exquisite detail to make you feel as if you were there, in her novel, Nineteen Minutes. She brought up questions no parent, child or authoritarian figure wants to answer. Is the relationship between my child and I so bad that they can't talk to me? Is the revenge of a bullied victim accepted to the point of no punishment? What is my place in high school, where do I belong, and what do I have to do to get there?

I would recommend Jodi Picoults "Nineteen Minutes" to anyone looking for "that" book. The type of book that you can't put down because you just HAVE to read each page. this book is eventful, emotional and an outstanding read.
