Partir : pour Aman et sa mère, c'est la seule solution. Fuir l'Afghanistan, où les talibans font régner la terreur, et rejoindre l'oncle Mir en Angleterre. Mais comment sortir du pays, entre les rencontres dangereuses, les bombes, la peur, la faim et les contrôles de police ? A leur côté, Ombre, une chienne adoptée par Aman, devient un fidèle compagnon de route. Elle semble parfois leur montrer le chemin, mais est-ce bien celui qui mène à une vie meilleure ?

L'histoire d'Aman

Joey is a warhorse, but he wasn't always. Once, he was a farm horse and a gentle boy named Albert was his master. Then World War I came storming through and everything changed. Albert's father sells Joey to the army where the beautiful, red-bay horse is trained to charge the enemy, drag heavy artillery, and carry wounded soldiers not much older than Albert off of battlefields. Amongst the clamoring of guns and slogging through the cold mud, Joey wonders if the war will ever end. And if it does, will he ever find Albert again?

 After encountering a fearsome beast at a mysterious palace, down-on-his-luck merchant Marco is forced to make a promise in exchange for his life: he must persuade one of his three daughters to return to the palace in his place - but she must come of her own free will.

 Beautiful, kind-hearted Belle agrees at once to return to the palace, and there she and the Beast exist companionably, with the Beast asking of Belle the same question at the end of each day: "Dearest Belle, will you marry me?"

 After a return home to consult with her father, Belle resolves to follow her heart and return to the Beast, but her plans are thwarted by the trickery of her jealous sisters. When, at last, Belle is able to find her way back to the palace, she finds her beloved Beast lying as still as death on the ground. As Belle's tears fall on his face, the Beast is transformed into a handsome prince - the ancient spell upon him broken by Belle's tears of true love.
