I wrote this book to take ownership of my narratives and redeem our country. My parents, my grandparents, and my family are buried in Pakistan’s soil. I owe it to them, to myself, my children, and to my country to share my narrative. Our stories are embedded with rich heritage and culture they deserve to be shared with our children.

Why should I buy this book?

Our children can not be what they can not see. Children develop self-value when they are able to read or see examples of people who look like them achieving greatness. Pakistan has been in the media for all the wrong reasons. It is high time we change this narrative and take ownership of our stories, the good, the bad, and the great. Our children need to hear stories of greatness, so they can take pride in being Pakistani immigrants.

Does this book contain religious text?

The book does not contain any religious text. Rather it speaks about the author’s adventures as a young child in the Pakistani city of Multan.
