Synopsis

Perfect for fans of Elizabeth Acevedo and Rupi Kaur, this
heartrending story told in prose, poetry, and illustration weaves together the
stories of a mother and daughter’s lives.

In this stunning sophomore novel, acclaimed writer Jasmin Kaur explores trauma, fear, courage, community, and the healing power of love in its many forms.

Kiran flees her home in Punjab for a fresh start in Canada
after a sexual assault leaves her pregnant. But overstaying her visa and living
undocumented brings its own perils for both her and her daughter, Sahaara.

Sahaara would do anything to protect her mother. When she
learns the truth about Kiran’s past, she feels compelled to seek justice—even
if it means challenging a powerful and dangerous man.

if i tell you the truth

that i’ve dug

from the hardened depths

of this shrapnel-filled dirt

with these aching, bloody hands

would you believe me?

would you still love me?
