Her story is a very complicated one so I am trying to tell it in a way that readers will understand and be interested in. I got two paid subscriptions last night so I am going to be able to keep the next installment free which is fantastic!

I wonder if "prologue" following Chapter 1 is confusing (it was to me). Perhaps "Chapter 2 - Karachi, Pakistan. March 30th 2003" would clue readers in that they are getting the back story to go with chapter 1? A minor detail in a very gripping account!

Horrifying but gripping. I cannot believe anyone said no one read this . Rafia you write so well & I hope I can learn more about Afia & her case from your Work . I heard her brother ( ?) come & speak at a fundraiser for her once , a long time ago when her case was still in the public eye. A group called Muslim Advocates were trying to fight her case , but it seems a lost cause . A day does not go by & we hear how the innocent have suffered .
