MY BOOK: LETTERS FROM AFGHANISTAN

I loved this powerful story,
loved the intent and the spirit behind it,
and can not help but hope the author's message of hope

Bookly Matters - rating 5/5
Olivia is a 14 years old Californian girl. Her summer doesn't look so exciting as she and her family head over to grandpa's home in San Francisco.
But the geography assignment her teacher has set her could change everything.
Olivia has to write letters to a girl studying in an Afghan school.
That's how she connects with Basya.
Basya is 14 years old and lives in a small Afghan village. She dreams of becoming a teacher but she has to face so much just in order to survive and get an education.
When Basya is in trouble, Olivia will have to find her own strength and courage to help her friend. A coming of age story to celebrate diversity and a friendship that knows no borders.

Who am I -
​in a nutshell

Maricla Pannocchia is an Italian freelance writer and human rights activist. Born and raised in a small village in Tuscany, she later lived in London and Rome after setting up her own professional journey as a ghostwriter, copywriter and writer with a strong focus on social issues which allows her to travel the world.
Having always felt like a "citizen of the world", her goal is to use her talent and passion for writing to share the stories of people she meets during her trips, which we don't often hear from. These stories are as raw and authentic - and, most important, without censorship - as Maricla hears them so everyone can get a more real understanding of the world. 

Maricla's story itself is an inspirational one as she always felt like a fish out of water and has been raised in a toxic family. She worked hard to set herself free and to live a life she can be proud of.
