Chapter+14

__ **Chapter 14 Summary** __ This chapter was about Parvana when she met a girl named Homa. Homa had escaped from Mazar-e-Sharif because the Taliban had captured it and had killed her family. Parvana helped Homa get home and have clean clothes to wear. Homa told stories about when she lived in Marzar-e-Sharif and about how she left her family out on the streets for the dogs to eat and when she couldn't cover up her families bodies because the Taliban Soilders had forbade them to. When Parvana heard her story she was scared that it would happen to her family so she stayed in her toshak for two days. Mrs Weera then told her to fight back but she thought that there was no hope.

The second day that late afternoon, Shauzia came to visit Parvana and convinced her to come back and work with her. A few days after, when she got home from the market she saw two men helping her father up the steps. She was so relieved and happy to see him. She knew that one of her nightmares was over.
