Happy Tuesday! If you’ve been following this newsletter for a while, you know by now that I *HATE* making decisions. Which is why I am sending you another giant list of books – there are just too many good ones for me to leave any out! Your TBRs will thank me. (Jk, they’re probably screaming for mercy.)

Life is quiet and ordinary in Amal’s Pakistani village, she has no complaints, and she’s busy pursuing her dream of becoming a teacher one day. Her dreams are temporarily dashed when the unimaginable happens. After an accidental run-in with the son of her village’s corrupt landlord, Amal must work as his family’s servant to pay off her own family’s debt. When it becomes clear just how far they will go to protect their interests, Amal realizes she will have to find a way to work with others if they are ever to exact change in a cruel status quo, and if Amal is ever to achieve her dreams.
