We are not in Pakistan

This collection of ten stories explores the paradox of how love and fear can both unite and divide us. Readers meet characters like Kathleen, who struggles with her Pakistani grandmother's influence, and Olena, a Ukrainian woman navigating a difficult relationship with her mother-in-law in Moscow. From a Lhasa Apso caught between lovers to a woman reinventing herself for her husband, these tales examine the complexities of human connection and cultural identity. The book culminates with a doctor receiving an email from a woman claiming to be the child of his past green-card marriage.
