Edition:  1st ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  Mahvish Khan is an American lawyer, born in Michigan to immigrant Afghan parents. Outraged that her country was illegally imprisoning people at Guantánamo, she volunteered to translate for the prisoners. She spoke their language, understood their customs, and brought them Starbucks chai, the closest available drink to the kind of tea they would drink at home. And they quickly befriended her, offering fatherly advice as well as a uniquely personal insight into their plight, and that of their families thousands of miles away. For Khan, the experience was a validation of her Afghan heritage--as well as her American freedoms, which allowed her to intervene at Guantánamo purely out of her sense that it was the right thing to do. Mahvish Khan's story is a challenging, brave test of who she is--and who we are.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 909.831 Kh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.831 Khan Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.831 Kh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.831 Kh Lost 07/03/2018 Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.831 Kh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.831 Kh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
