Two years ago, Laiba Hayat Hussain was abandoned by her father over something she never did. The man responsible for this grave misunderstanding got away with it, but that night, Laiba's life changed forever. Homeless and helpless, she knocked on the door of the only person she knew in town - Sarah Ahmed, her best friend.
Sarah Ahmed and her father, Haider Ahmed, took Laiba in. They not only gave her a place to stay but treated her as if she were one of their own. They took her to Dehradun, where she spent the most peaceful two years of her life. But when a proposal came her way, Haider Ahmed decided it was time for her to get married.
However, it seemed that Allah had other plans for her.
They say things get worse before they get better, but for Laiba, they only seemed to get worse.
This is the story of a girl who is tested by Allah (SWT) over and over again. Read Damsel in Distress to find out how Laiba navigates the adversities of life through patience and prayer and how her patience and prayers lead her to her 'yusr' (ease after hardship).
