Description
This powerful memoir follows a young Pakistani girl whose dreams of university and independence are upended when she is married at seventeen and sent to Canada. Far from the future she imagined, she confronts isolation, coercion, and the suffocating expectations placed upon her as a wife and daughter-in-law. With courage and determination, she begins the difficult journey toward safety, self-definition, and a life of her own while navigating family loyalty, cultural pressures, and the cost of breaking silence. Both harrowing and inspiring, the book is a testament to resilience, education, and the transformative power of reclaiming one’s voice.
