In 2002, Deeba fled Afghanistan, escaping a war-torn country and an abusive husband. Shortly after being captured by the Taliban and nearly sold to an Arab Shaikh, she narrowly escaped due to a small twist of fate. In June 2021, Deeba returned to Kabul to organize her son's engagement. Despite the Taliban's progress, she felt safe to travel after reassurances from the Aghan and US Governments that the Taliban would not be able to take major cities. However, one morning, she awoke to the news that President Ghani had escaped, and Kabul was in the hands of the Taliban. What ensued was a desperate rush to leave the city, enduring bomb blasts and crushing crowds at the airport. This is a harrowing account of one woman caught in the US withdrawal of Kabul, giving a first-hand account of what it was like to be a civilian caught up in the chaos and providing invaluable insight into the life of a woman in Afghanistan.
