Hawke, Rosanne
Notes
Summary: When her brother dies, Aster suddenly becomes the hope of the family. Instead of arranging an early marriage to a boy from her village in Pakistan, her parents send her to high school in her brother's place. But Aster's new classmates are far from welcoming, and a teacher takes an instant dislike to her. Soon, she's accused of blasphemy. A young social justice lawyer takes up her case, and Aster's Australian cousin, Maryam, starts an online campaign to free Aster. But will it be enough to save her?Additional Notes
