Author proceeds from the sale of Sea Prayer will go to the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and The Khaled Hosseini Foundation to help fund life-saving support and build better futures for refugees around the world.
This year buy yourself a book and add a second one to give away to a loved one. You are purchasing more than a book, you are providing a lifeline of support and hope for refugees in dire need of your help.
Orders placed through our site will be signed by Khaled and will include a limited edition bookmark.
