For my grandmother became a doctor even though she was Jewish. For my grandmother who was the first woman allowed to trade with the men at the market in Afghanistan. For my mother who was beaten for daring to wear her Star of David. Your Roots Cast a Shadow. My roots.

Got a box full of my books. It's pretty cool but also strangely uneventful.
