Publisher's Synopsis
A memoir describing the life of my mother and other women in her family living, loving
and sometimes rebelling against the confines of the veils and the walls in a small town
in Pakistan.
Conflicting desires of wanting the freedom yet longing for the protection and safety
the walls provided. Creating wonderful opportunities for her children yet fearing their
independence. A reminder that change cannot be forced unless one is ready to accept it.
Change is possible and that the desire to be free eventually does win even if it takes a few
generations to bring the change about.
