May Feature Book
The Kite Runner
The first novel by Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini. Published in 2003 by Riverhead Books, it tells the story of Amir, a young boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, whose closest friend is Hassan, his father's young Hazara serv-ant. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of Afghanistan's monarchy through the Soviet mili-tary intervention, the exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the rise of the Taliban regime. Hosseini has commented that he considers The Kite Runner to be a father–son story, emphasizing the familial aspects of the narrative, an ele-ment that he continued to use in his later works. Themes of guilt and redemption feature prominently in the novel, with a pivotal scene depicting an act of violence against Hassan that Amir fails to prevent. The latter half of the book centers on Amir's attempts to atone for this transgression.

lives would never be the same. Yes, with God all things are possible. But
the devastating news was that no cure existed to restore Martin’s short-term
memory, eyesight, and other complications. The fairy-tale life Laura had
dreamed of was no longer possible. And yet in struggling with God about
how to live with broken dreams, Laura has found joy and a deeper intimacy
with Jesus. Laura helps us understand we aren’t the only ones whose lives
have taken unexpected turns. She examines the brokenness of some of the
heroes of our faith, and shows how despite their flaws and flawed stories,
God was able to use them in extraordinary ways. And it was not because of
their faith, but because of the faithfulness of their God. God may not fix
everything. In fact, although your situation might not ever change or get bet-
