In October 2008, Mellissa Fung, a reporter for CBCs The National, was leaving a refugee camp outside of Kabul when she was kidnapped by armed men. She was forced to hike for several hours through the mountains until they reached a village there, the kidnappers pushed her towards a hole in the ground. No, she said. I am not going down there.
For more than a month, Fung lived in that hole, which was barely tall enough to stand up in, nursing her injuries, praying and writing in a notebook. Under an Afghan Sky is the gripping tale of Fungs days in captivity, surviving on cookies and juice, from the grab to her eventual release.
