Description
In Pakistan, Amal is determined to become a teacher, but her life is upended when her family’s debt traps her into indentured servitude under the wealthy and corrupt Khan family. As she navigates a world of exploitation and power, Amal must decide how far she can bend without losing herself—and what it will cost to keep her dream alive. Blending intimate character drama with a broader critique of class, coercion, and moral compromise, the novel explores resilience, agency, and the quiet rebellions that begin with education. With Aisha Saeed’s clear-eyed, emotionally resonant storytelling, Amal’s journey becomes both a personal fight for dignity and a larger reckoning with injustice.
