"One night before putting him to bed, Enaiatollah's mother tells him three things: don't use drugs; don't use weapons; don't steal. The next day he wakes up to find she isn't there. They have fled their village to seek safety outside Afghanistan, but his mother has decided to return home to her younger children. Ten-year-old Enaiatollah is left alone in Pakistan to fend for himself... Fabio Geda takes the true story of Enaiatollah's remarkable five-year journey from Afghanistan to Italy and shapes it into a beautiful piece of fiction." --Publisher description.
