Dr. Homeira Qaderi, author of DANCING IN THE MOSQUE (Harper Collins) was in Kabul during the summer of 2021 writing her next book and fighting for gender equality when her country fell to the Taliban. After several harrowing days and nights, she and her son Siawash were evacuated to safety, literally in the last hour. We thank Harper Collins US and UK and many of our authors, including Deborah Rodriquez, Masha Hamilton, Arthur Phillips, Meg Waite Clayton, and Homeira’s translator Dr. Zaman Stanizai for providing various means of support during this stressful time.
