journey. Your mind will be pushed past speed limits that catapult you into a world of turmoil, war, uncertainty and instability.  Throughout this difficult ride across minefields, graveyards, refugee camps and dangerous bazaars, the reader interacts with the protagonists Parvana and Shauvia as they wrestle with the difficult knowledge of what life has become for them.

It will strenghten your resolve to do what you can to help someone to transform their fields of ruin and despair into fields of peace, dignity and beauty ...as beautiful as Shauvia's Lavender Field of dreams.
