Eddie’s Restaurant |10 E Northwest Hwy

Join us at Eddie's restaurant to discuss My Beautiful Sisters : A Memoir of Courage, Hope, and the Afghan Women's Soccer Team by Khalida Popal. This memoir is a raw, urgent testament to what happens when women dare to play—and dare to fight—for their right to exist on their own terms in a repressive regime. Popal’s journey, from refugee to founder and captain of Afghanistan’s women’s soccer team, unfolds with astonishing courage under constant threat, revealing not just the battle for sport, but the fight for dignity itself. The true power of the memoir lies in its depiction of sisterhood forged in fear and resistance and the way sport becomes a vehicle for hope, identity and collective survival.
