Summary

In the heart of Lahore, a young girl named Amrah lived under the weight of a peculiar family curse. They believed she brought bad luck. This belief, fueled by unfortunate events that happened around her birth, made her life difficult. Amrah’s family, except for her kind grandfather, treated her with fear and scorn. But Amrah was strong and didn’t let their superstitions define her.

Amrah’s grandfather, a wise and loving man, encouraged her to study hard and believe in herself. He knew education could change her life. Inspired by his words, Amrah dreamed of studying abroad, far away from the negativity that surrounded her.

With determination, Amrah excelled in her studies and won a scholarship to Manchester University. Leaving behind her family’s superstitions, she embarked on a journey to a new land filled with hope and excitement.

In Manchester, Amrah met a group of Pakistani students who were helping others from Pakistan study abroad. Their kindness touched her heart. However, Amrah soon realized that life in Manchester wasn’t easy. She faced cultural differences, money problems, and the pressure to succeed in her studies.

Through it all, Amrah’s strength was tested. But she refused to give up. Remembering her grandfather’s words, she faced the prejudices and superstitions that had haunted her. She proved that she was not defined by her family’s beliefs but by her own courage and determination.

As Amrah embraced her new life in Manchester, she discovered the true meaning of freedom and self-acceptance. She learned to overcome the limitations others had placed on her and to create her own path. Along the way, she found friendship, support, and a sense of belonging in a community that valued her for who she truly was.
