Delve into this honest autobiographical look at the medical profession and its intricacies. This is the story of a doctor who is willing to share her struggles and triumphs, comparing medicine in Pakistan to America. Describing through case stories how a doctor approaches their patients, she shares how a doctor deals with happiness and sadness on a usual work day and how the rollercoaster of emotions impacts a doctor in their daily rounds. This real life look at the struggle between family duties and ethical responsibilities through commitment to patients has Dr. Noor putting it all on the table. She goes from discussing the pharmaceutical and insurance companies to the profession of 'doctor,' while sharing what makes her field sacred to the true practitioners that are dealing with their patients' health and well-being. Whether you're a doctor or patient, traveling between the doors of life and death is a journey we all must take.

Life is full of dichotomies: black and white, right and wrong, Pakistan and USA. Sitara starts to see the glaring differences in people, once she has a child of her own grow-up: Sitara and Sehar, Fatima versus Nisa, her amazing husband Qamar versus the awful son-in-law Nadeem. Sehar is now in an arranged marriage, but things are going very wrong. Will Sitara ever know the full truth of what Sehar endures? Will Sehar escape the nightmare of her in-laws? "This book beautifully takes you through the basic secrets behind a successful marriage, even though a successful marriage takes a lot of work. We see the inner workings of an arranged marriage in Pakistan, and see how that translates in the United States. This is a story of not only arranged marriages, but of immigration, of loss, of family." -Editor, Amy Gossett
