A marriage at the crossroads of family and culture

Set along the nineteenth-century Silk Road, this opening volume follows Amir Halgal as she enters marriage far from the nomadic community she came from. Her husband is eight years younger, and the new household brings a mix of cultural differences, family expectations, and questions about where she belongs. The premise places personal adjustment within a wider social setting, as Amir navigates ties to both her birth family and her adoptive family while settling into a new home.
