Between the lines of tradition

"Between the Lines of Tradition" is the story of Hodan, a Somali woman raised in a world where love is never spontaneous, but always calculated, approved, and aligned with generations of cultural expectations. For Hodan, life is about navigating the fine line between her desires and the weight of tradition-the unspoken rules that govern everything from relationships to reputation.

When she agrees to meet Faisal, the charming and ambitious eldest son of a prominent family, she steps into uncharted territory. The meeting isn't a date-no, that would be too reckless. But the chemistry between them is undeniable, and as they share cautious words in the dim light of a café, something stirs within Hodan. Faisal understands the expectations that come with his place in society, but he's willing to bend the rules just enough to connect with her.

As their connection grows, Hodan finds herself questioning everything she's been taught about love, modesty, and what it means to follow her heart. But in a culture where the weight of family, pride, and community can destroy reputations in an instant, defying tradition could cost them everything.

Between the Lines of Tradition is a story about love, rebellion, and the struggle to carve out one's own path in a world where the lines are already drawn. Will Hodan and Faisal have the courage to challenge what's been set before them, or will they remain trapped in a cycle of expectations, never able to write their own story?
