The gripping and inspiring story of two extraordinary
women–from their imprisonment by the Taliban to their rescue by
U.S. Special Forces.
When Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer arrived in Afghanistan, they
had come to help bring a better life and a little hope to some of
the poorest and most oppressed people in the world. Within a few
months, their lives were thrown into chaos as they became pawns in
historic international events. They were arrested by the ruling
Taliban government for teaching about Christianity to the people
with whom they worked. In the middle of their trial, the events of
September 11, 2001, led to the international war on terrorism, with
the Taliban a primary target. While many feared Curry and Mercer
could not survive in the midst of war, Americans nonetheless prayed
for their safe return, and in November their prayers were
answered.
In Prisoners of Hope, Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer tell the
story of their work in Afghanistan, their love for the people they
served, their arrest, trial, and imprisonment by the Taliban, and
their rescue by U.S. Special Forces. The heart of the book will
discuss how two middle-class American women decided to leave the
comforts of home in exchange for the opportunity to serve the
disadvantaged, and how their faith motivated them and sustained
them through the events that followed. Their story is a magnificent
narrative of ordinary women caught in extraordinary circumstances
as a result of their commitment to serve the poorest and most
oppressed women and children in the world. This book will be
inspiring to those who seek a purpose greater than
themselves.
