505 0  Dark summer in Afghanistan -- Afghans in America -- Coming
       together, falling apart -- Growing up Muslim Afghan-
       American -- Revisiting Afghanistan -- Womanhood -- Real 
       Islam -- Between old friends -- As the smoke clears. 
520    The clash between two cultures led a young Maryam through 
       an identity crisis that was resolved only as she 
       rediscovered her religious  and cultural roots, became 
       increasingly active in the Afghan and Muslim communities, 
       and resolved to bridge the gap between her two dueling 
       cultures. The resolution she has achieved in her own life 
       serves as a paradigm to the larger issue of East-West 
       relations and our future together.
