Desperate, Tasnim gets an opportunity to attend a college in America, away from her home. Follow Tasnim as she struggles to build her own life, to make new, foreign and different friends, and to finally learn to love.

Beyond the veil

Fatima is the quiet, sharp-tongued girl in abaya, always on top of her class and always under people's judgment. Mohammad is the charming gym freak on a bike, with a soft heart, spicy cooking skills-and a secret past he doesn't talk about. They're college rivals, academic competitors, and maybe... something more. Between stolen glances, heated debates, and unanswered duas, something unspoken grows. But they know what it means to love in silence. They know what it means to guard their hearts in a world where love outside marriage is tempting-but never right. This is not your typical college love story. This is the journey of two souls who fall in love not by crossing boundaries... but by respecting them.
