In 1979, Awista Ayub fled her birthplace of Kabul with her family and escaped to the United States. Since then, Awista has been determined to make a difference for girls still living in Afghanistan. She honed in on her love for football and set the wheels for life-changing events in motion by forming the Afghan Youth Sports Exchange (AYSE). For this book, Awista travelled back to Afghanistan to visit the original six young women she introduced to football to tell their stories in a timely, heartfelt and truly moving narrative.
