Zainab asked Nadia Hashimi:

I read your book a few months ago and positively loved it! Inspiring and emotionally unwinding at the same time! With determined figures such as Shekiba and Rahima, are there any women in your life who inspired you to write your characters?

Nadia Hashimi What a great question! I think the resilience and determination you feel in Shekiba and Rahima are products of what I've seen throughout my life (aunts, grandmothers, cousins and family friends). I've been raised around Afghan women who have faced some pretty tall mountains and still seen a path. The world is that much of a better place thanks to the women refusing to accept the status quo and becoming a role model for the girls and women around them. Thanks for reading!

I am half way through When the moon is low and i cant put it down..i feel as though i am living through your characters. It has opened my mind and my heart to the struggles that others have to go through just to feel free. Though your books i find i look at life a little different..i have learned a new respect for the familys that have fought for their freedom and children. will the struggle ever end? thank you

Lisa asked Nadia Hashimi:

Hello Nadia, I love your work, and I'm waiting impatiently (ha!) for your new one. I couldn't believe it when I read "pediatrician and mom of four." What on earth??? How do you make that even possible? I'm tired just thinking about it!
