“My world was turned upside down when the Russians invaded Afghanistan. Since escaping Afghanistan, my family have migrated to Pakistan, Denmark and then finally to The United States in search of a permanent home”, says Wazir Shpoon

Boca Raton, FL (I-Newswire) April 20, 2011 - Many are unaware of the hardships faced by immigrants. The leaving of one’s country is just the beginning. Getting accustomed to the new culture and growing new roots is the true challenge.

"With his autobiography, Wazir Shpoon redefines what it means to be an outsider, even in one's homeland. Think there aren't parallels between Muslim and western cultures? This glimpse into Afghan society will surprise you. -- Dawn Scovill, author of IMMORTAL BONDS and CHASING KID ROCK"
