The Dressmaker of Khair Khana by Gayle Tzemach Lemmon
Over 1,450 5-Star Reviews!
The incredible true story of a young woman who defied the Taliban—armed only with a needle, thread, and fierce determination.
When the Taliban seized Kabul, Kamila Sidiqi’s life changed overnight. With her father and brother forced to flee and her teaching career abruptly ended, Kamila became the sole provider for her five siblings. From inside her home, she launched a dressmaking business that grew into a lifeline for dozens of women in her neighborhood.
The Dressmaker of Khair Khana is journalist Gayle Tzemach Lemmon’s intimate portrait of resilience, sisterhood, and quiet resistance. More than a story of survival, it’s a celebration of the women who held their families—and their country—together under impossible circumstances.
