Under An Afghan Sky

#1 National Bestseller and Finalist for the OLA Evergreen AwardIn October 2008 Mellissa Fung a long-time reporter for CBCs The National was leaving a refugee camp outside of Kabul. Suddenly she was grabbed by armed men claiming to be Taliban stabbed stuffed into the back of a car and driven off into the desert. When the group finally reached a village in the middle of nowhere her kidnappers pushed her towards a hole in the ground. For twenty-eight days Mellissa Fung lived in that hole which was barely big enough to stand up or lie down in nursing her injuries praying writing in her notebook and as a veteran journalist interrogating her own captors. Under an Afghan Sky is the gripping tale of Fungs days in captivity and a powerful book about survival and the indomitable spirit of one woman in the most perilous of circumstances.
