Description

Two sisters—separated by circumstance and shaped by the shifting tides of family, faith, and belonging—find their lives pulled in different directions as they navigate love, loss, and the cost of survival. Spanning years and continents, their story unfolds through intimate choices and hard-won resilience, revealing how identity can be both refuge and battleground. With lyrical, emotionally precise prose, this novel explores themes of sisterhood, displacement, and the complicated ways communities and institutions can both protect and endanger. Asghar’s distinctive storytelling blends tenderness with urgency, offering a powerful, character-driven portrait of what it means to remain connected when the world insists on separation.
