From childhood, Saira Qader broke the boundaries between her family's traditions and her desire for independence. A free-spirited and rebellious Muslim-American of Indo-Pakistani descent, she rejected constricting notions of family, duty, obligation, and fate, choosing instead to become a journalist, the world her home. Five years later, tragedy strikes, throwing Saira's life into turmoil. Now the woman who chased the world to uncover the details of other lives must confront the truths of her own. In need of understanding, she looks to the stories of those who came before-her grandparents, a beloved aunt, her mother and her father.
"A moving meditation on the meaning of family, tradition, and the ties that bind. The Writing on MyForehead is lyrical and touching."-Khaled Hosseini- Available now
