Zahra's sky is full of dark clouds, with challenges and hurdles that she must overcome when she migrates to Australia with her very traditional family.

Then she meets Humza, but will her family approve of a relationship that has not been arranged for her?With courage and the power of love, Zahra confronts cultural boundaries that threaten to keep her life on hold, maybe forever. Will the skies in her life ever be clear for her?This book deals with confronting subjects: domestic and family violence; sexual abuse by a family member; arranged marriages; parental pressure to conform to cultural background; immigration.Although this is a young adult novel, there are many themes such as domestic, family and sexual violence and childhood sexual abuse that affect many adults as well, so it is also suitable for adult readers.
