This story was so heartbreakingly powerful and raw. Following two generations of immigrants from Pakistan and their trials and tribulations into what it takes to have the “American Dream”. It touches on generational trauma, grief, addiction, helplessness, prejudice, and how far one will go to persevere and forgive despite all that has been put in their way. This book touched my heart on such a deep level. It gave me such an insightful understanding of how one might struggle when faced with travesty in a position without privilege. It also helped me heal and process some of my grief that I have held onto.
