Written in the Stars
Saeed Aisha
This heart-wrenching
novel explores what it is like to be thrust into an unwanted marriage.
Has Naila’s fate been written in the stars? Or can she still make her
own destiny?
Naila’s conservative immigrant parents have always
said the same thing: She may choose what to study, how to wear her hair,
and what to be when she grows up—but they will choose her husband.
Following their cultural tradition, they will plan an arranged marriage
for her. And until then, dating—even friendship with a boy—is forbidden.
When Naila breaks their rule by falling in love with Saif, her parents
are livid. Convinced she has forgotten who she truly is, they travel to
Pakistan to visit relatives and explore their roots. But Naila’s
vacation turns into a nightmare when she learns that plans have
changed—her parents have found her a husband and they want her to marry
him, now! Despite her greatest efforts, Naila is aghast to find herself
cut off from everything and everyone she once knew. Her only hope of
escape is Saif . . . if he can find her before it’s too late.
