Written in the Stars

Written in the Stars

This heart-wrenching novel explores what it is like to be thrust into an unwanted marriage. Has Nailaâ€™s fate been written in the stars? Or can she still make her own destiny?
Â
Nailaâ€™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 upâ€”but they will choose her husband. Following their cultural tradition, they will plan an arranged marriage for her. And until then, datingâ€”even friendship with a boyâ€”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 Nailaâ€™s vacation turns into a nightmare when she learns that plans have changedâ€”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 SaifÂ .Â .Â . if he can find her before itâ€™s too late.
