About this ebook
Qabila and Rashid’s marriage has been falling apart for years. A pregnancy trapped them, although he was seeing Thandi at the time. Has he ever stopped seeing her?
With her mother’s passing, Qabila’s world crumbles. She dreams of strange songs and makes lists to stay sane. After years of feeling unloved, she wants a divorce. Why does Rashid resist?
Picking up the pieces, Qabila reconnects with family and her Muslim faith, and meets musicians that might be the answer to her puzzling dreams.
