Long Answer
1. High-heeled shoes are first mentioned by Ahmedi’s Afghan doctor, when the doctor says she’ll be wearing them again soon after her surgery in Germany. In this moment, they symbolize hope and Ahmedi’s search for normalcy. Later, Ahmedi remembers them while participating in an American fashion show, many years later. In that moment, she realizes that while she’ll never be the same kind of “normal” she once was, she is able to embrace her womanhood and femininity in her new body. (Various chapters)
2. Ahmedi’s childhood is cut short by wartime in Afghanistan, the loss of her leg, and the entire refugee experience.
