While Asif tries to get Maryam and Rafi on one of the last flights out of Kabul, the Taliban come to the school, and Parvana must lead the girls out of Green Valley and into the mountains.
And Parvana is still headstrong, bringing her in conflict with her spoiled sister Maryam.
But Shauzia is still Parvana\'s best friend.
She has a son, Rafi, who is about to fly to New York, where he will train to become a dancer.
She runs a school for girls.
She has married Asif, who she met in the desert as she searched for her family when she was a child.
Many things have changed for Parvana since then.
