Publisher's Synopsis
In a village bound by tradition and fear, Amina's world shatters when she loses her closest friend, Gulalay-a girl who dared to dream of a life beyond the walls that confined them. But even in death, Gulalay's story is not forgotten. Amina discovers a letter hidden in the folds of Gulalay's favorite shawl, a final plea to keep her spirit alive in the face of an oppressive silence. Determined to honor her friend's memory, Amina becomes the keeper of Gulalay's story, sharing it with the children of the village under the shade of an ancient fig tree. Through whispered tales of love, defiance, and hope, she breathes life into a dream that was never allowed to bloom. In a world where love is a crime and voices are silenced by fear, Amina's vow to never forget Gulalay becomes an act of rebellion. Echoes of a Silent Heart is a haunting tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the power of memory. It's a story about the quiet resistance that lives within us all, and the enduring strength of love, even when the world tries to bury it. Through Amina's words, Gulalay's heart beats on, forever echoing in the lives of those who dare to remember.
