520    An exquisite and inspiring memoir about one mother's 
       unimaginable choice in the face of oppression and abuse in
       Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.In the days before Homeira 
       Qaderi gave birth to her son, Siawash, the road to the 
       hospital in Kabul would often be barricaded because of the
       frequent suicide explosions. With the city and the 
       military on edge, it was not uncommon for an armed soldier
       to point his gun at the pregnant woman's bulging stomach, 
       terrified that she was hiding a bomb. Frightened and in 
       pain, she was once forced to make her way on foot. 
       Propelled by the love she held for her soon-to-be-born 
       child, Homeira walked through blood and wreckage to reach 
       the hospital doors. But the joy of her beautiful son's 
       birth was soon overshadowed by other dangers that would 
       threaten her life.No ordinary Afghan woman, Homeira 
       refused to cower under the strictures of a misogynistic 
       social order. Defying the law, she risked her freedom to 
       teach children reading and writing and fought for women's 
       rights in her theocratic and patriarchal 
       society.Devastating in its power, Dancing in the Mosque is
       a mother's searing letter to a son she was forced to leave
       behind. In telling her story--and that of Afghan women--
       Homeira challenges you to reconsider the meaning of 
       motherhood, sacrifice, and survival. Her story asks you to
       consider the lengths you would go to protect yourself, 
       your family, and your dignity.
