She was born into blame.
Raised in rejection.
And taught to fear the name of God.
Sapphira lost her mother at birth - and with her, lost her father's love. Branded a reminder of loss, she grew up under cruelty, abuse, and a hatred she never understood. Islam, to her, became a symbol of pain, not peace.
At six years old, she is sent away like an unwanted burden.
In her uncle Kawu's home, Sapphira encounters something unfamiliar: kindness. Faith without force. Love without conditions. Surrounded by Muslims who choose patience over pressure, she begins to heal - slowly, quietly - believing for the first time that life might allow her to breathe.
But peace is fragile.
Just as her future begins to take shape, her father summons her back, dragging her into a debt she never owed - a marriage she never chose. Trapped and voiceless, Sapphira does the unthinkable: she plans her escape.
With courage sharpened by years of suffering, and the help of the only soul who shows her mercy, she runs.
A scholarship. A new country. A new beginning.
There, she meets Fahad - distant, frustrating, and everything she doesn't expect. What begins as hostility slowly becomes understanding, and through him - and the friends she finds - Sapphira is introduced to Islam not as a weapon, but as light.
Her journey is not easy.
It is stitched with pain, sacrifice, love, and faith.
Silk Reborn is a story of a girl who survives what should have broken her - and discovers that rebirth, like silk drawn from fire, is painful... but breathtakingly beautiful.
