The Gem Hunter-True Adventures of an American in Afghanistan

Summary: Where is Bonita?
Review: Bonita Chamberlin shared your adventures in Afghanistan, as acknowledged in the book you co-authored with her, "Gemstones of Afghanistan." The only acknowledgement of her presence I can locate is in the one photo. Obviously, having a woman travel with you in an Islamic country, with the added dangers of the Russian incursion, would add much to the story. Why have you not included her in this book?
