The Bond of Sisters

Sameera is the daughter of a wealthy Pakistani businessman. Her mother died only a few weeks after giving birth to her, leaving Sameera under the care of servants. She resides in her mother's house in Lahore, while her father, his wives, and their sons live in Karachi. This arrangement gives Sameera a freedom most Pakistani girls don't experience. She spends her days writing and wandering Lahore with friends. But then her world falls apart. Rabiya, a friend so close she's like a sister to Sameera becomes an unwilling part of a forced marriage. It isn't long before Sameera must go through an arranged marriage herself. Her father strikes a deal with a man: his daughter in return for the resolution of a centuries-long blood feud. Sameera is forced to marry a man several years older than her. However, despite her earlier concerns, she finds her new family to be better than expected: her husband is kind and loving while her sister-in-law becomes her closest friend. But a happy life can't erase the pain of losing Rabiya. Memories resurface and it all becomes too much, and so Sameera decides to begin searching for her friend. When she finds her, she must devise a plan to free Rabiya from her abusive husband.
