Goal: My Journey from Afghanistan - Tapa blanda

Mohammad Alikhail's mother never forgot that her fifth son was born the day her husband turned his affections to a younger bride. She cradled the newborn in her arms and called him Bad-bakht, the unlucky one. The name followed him, and it fit. Despite fate's timing, in the end she couldn't tangle him. Mohammad's tact on the soccer field, a layover in India, and a daring move were all he needed to change the course of his life. He left Afghanistan twenty-two years ago with the assumption that the hard part was over. But the journey had just begun. This book inspires heart-to-heart connections across cultures, connections that, in today's world of difference and indifference, can ease foreign conflict - and perhaps inspire others to achieve their own goals along the way.
