What can one say about Amani?
Amani is fifteen and fourteen years old with two names, two genders, two families, two nationalities, two life histories and two birthdays documented on two birth certificates - plus one certificate of death.
(Except, not exactly. You know, on the gender thing. It’s…complicated. Actually, it’s not complicated, it’s just, uh, well, explaining it is odd and unexpected and makes other people sort of go off strange.)
But back to Amani. Amani has never had a friend or a playmate, unless you count adults. Amani has an Arabian stallion that no one else ever rides, flies sailplanes and loves cars and Paris fashion. Amani doesn’t ever expect to be in love...but then there have been a lot of things that happened in Amani’s life that were unexpected.
Oh, and perhaps this goes without saying: Amani has been carefully prepared for a life that’s almost, but not quite, completely different from the one Amani has to fit into.

Forbidden Love
"I told you not to fall in love with me" Aasia Olivia. 17. Nathaniel James. 18. You'd think someone who moves around a lot, doesn't get attached easily? That's usually the case with Aasia Olivia- but that is until she meets people who change her life.

Min Qalbi: From My Heart
She was never the favorite daughter. Never the ideal cousin. Never the girl who fit into mirrors or people's expectations. Mishel Wahaj, the youngest in a large, opinionated family, has grown up hearing one thing - "You need to lose weight." From aunties' taunts to silent glances at weddings, she's been shrinking emotionally long before she ever tried to shrink physically. But on the edge of 18, something inside her breaks - and quietly begins to rebuild. Across the same bloodline, Rayyan Alvi, her much older cousin - a 28-year-old CSS officer - is everything she's not: composed, dignified, unreachable. For years, Mishel barely registered in his world. But when life pulls them back into the same orbit, something fragile begins to form between unspoken words, eyes that linger too long, and a past that refuses to stay buried. This isn't a love story told in flowers and fairytales. It's told in sajdahs, silences, self-worth, and slow healing. As Mishel fights for her identity, her voice, and her relationship with Allah - she discovers that sometimes the most powerful love stories begin when you finally learn to love yourself. A journey of broken mirrors, unexpected souls, and divine timing. Because when Allah writes your story... nothing comes too early, and nothing comes too late.Complete
