A River Is Made is a true story of a life carried across borders, wars, and generations, told through the eyes of its author, Fazal Moneer Adil. From Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the UAE to the United States, it traces the journey of an Afghan refugee from war to belonging in America.

It is a powerful story spanning five decades of modern Afghan history, and personal sacrifice. Inspired by an Afghan proverb, "Qatra Qatra Darya Mesha"—drop by drop, a river is made, this book culminates in a father’s final, definitive act of generational love: securing for his children, especially his daughter, the priceless American gift of education, freedom, and a voice of their own. From his years as a child born in exile to his service as an interpreter for U.S. Special Operatives in Afghanistan, Fazal weaves a deeply human story of displacement, endurance, and hope.

The book also shares the deeply personal account of his son’s medical trauma, illuminating the universal struggle of families facing unimaginable choices while raising a child with special needs. Both intimate and sweeping, this story bridges the immense weight of historical conflict and the geopolitics of powerful nations with the personal struggle of one Afghan family.

A River Is Made is uniquely positioned for a broad and impact-driven audience seeking a powerful story of resilience, identity, and hope.
