Kite Runner
Acceptance and love are two things that everyone wants to feel. In the Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Amir is so desperate to be loved by his father that he is willing to do anything for it – including hurting others and even himself because he cannot forgive himself for what he has done. In trying to be loved by his father Hassan has thrown Amir under the bus, he has gotten rid of Hassan, and lives with guilt all his life.
