(3) YA High-school senior Naila's college plans are derailed when her conservative Pakistani American parents catch her attending prom and whisk her away to Pakistan for a "visit." To her increasing horror, Naila realizes that her parents intend to force her into marriage with a Pakistani man. Saeed's suspenseful, emotional novel is elevated by Naila's intelligent voice and her unwillingness to become a victim.
