I’m not a Muslim. So I’ve relied on research and honest talk for my portrayal of Aneesa and her family.
I am forever indebted to Zohra Ashpari, Kaye M., Ardo Omer, and my dear friend Daniel Nayeri for their time, understanding, and generosity.
This is fiction and I’m not perfect, so I’m sure I’ve made mistakes. Hopefully, they aren’t big ones.
