“True American”

Thrust into war-ravaged Afghanistan, Zahir Nabi, an Afghan-American immigrant, and Christopher Stewart, an evangelical preacher, are forced to choose between forgiveness and justice.

“True American is one of the most thought provoking, unpredictable, and moving stories I have ever read.”

—Guile Branco, CEO, Bright Knight Entertainment

As the communist army invaded, Zahir was forced to flee from his home. His family began a new life, in a strange city—a city straight from the action movies he watched in the Kabul cinema—Las Vegas, Nevada.
