As a girl and as part of an ethnic minority in Afghanistan, Freshta Tori Jan was persecuted relentlessly. Her family faced kidnappings and daily murder attempts on the bus, on the way to school, in the workplace, and beyond. Freshta's school was shut down by the Taliban, and many of her friends were murdered and shot. Her journey through poverty, terrorism, and other forms of injustice has enabled her to be a voice for those unable to share their stories and those unable to receive the opportunities she has sought. She believes in empowering youth in order to bring about change and be the leaders of today and tomorrow. With a voice that is both accessible and engaging, Freshta brings forward a captivating first-person account of strength, resilience, and determination, and delivers compelling narrative nonfiction by young people, for young people"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 1 $a 9-12 $b Norton Young Readers. 600 10 $a Jan, Freshta Tori $v Juvenile literature. 600 11 $a Jan, Freshta Tori. 650 0 $a Afghan American women $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Girls $z Afghanistan $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Hazaras $z Afghanistan $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Political persecution $z Afghanistan $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Political refugees $z United States $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Afghan War, 2001- $x Refugees $v Juvenile literature. 650 1 $a Afghan American women. 650 1 $a Girls. 650 1 $a Afghan War, 2001- $x Refugees. 650 1 $a Hazaras $z Afghanistan. 650 1 $a Political persecution. 650 1 $a Political refugees. 830 0 $a I, witness (New York, N.Y.) 941 $a 1 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509011643.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=50985DB468C511EE82CCA71150ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
