| Sabrina Craig watched her husband, Mason, slowly die from cancer. Upon the reading of her beloved, but much older, husband’s will she was surprised to see a note written just before his death. The envelope asked that she wait to read it. As time passes by, her life regains a semblance of normality but lacks the love she once cherished. She opens the letter and is amazed to find out that Mason’s last wishes were that his ashes be scattered in Afghanistan over the lakes of Band-I-Amir. Sabrina is forced to contact the only person who can help her get to Afghanistan, and who would, without question, understand her need to go - Mason’s step-son Jeremy, an international journalist. In the beginning of Sabrina’s relationship with Mason, Jeremy made quite obvious his rude opinions of her and of her motives for marrying a much older man. Jeremy has since grown up and had witnessed first-hand Sabrina’s true love for his father. Sabrina needs this journey so that she can find her own peace in life again, but little do they know what trials and tribulations are on the way for them - some personal, and some life altering.
Sabrina and Jeremy are individuals with strength of love and trust. Ms. Kuhn does a wonderful job of letting the reader see snapshots of their lives prior to this momentous journey. This was a beautiful, heartfelt tale that makes Afghanistan come to life. Ms. Kuhn explores not only the beauty but also the turmoil and dangers. This book is a rich tapestry made of exotic scenes, smells, and a plethora of emotions. This is a superbly written and emotionally engaging story, perfect for anyone.
