"A rare and honest insight into a battle between the heart and mind." (LONDON POST) "Tradition and conservative culture serves as a backdrop for this beautifully heartwrenching tale of love and loss." (NEW YORK WEEKLY) "Broken shows flawed characters in a relatable way in today's modern age as the conversation on the ongoing battle between right and wrong gets harder to discuss..." MUSLIMAHXMAGAZINE In this heartwrenching new novel from Award-winning author and poet, Fatima Bala, a connection sends two lovers with different ideologies on a search for redemption in places far from home. A story of imperfect love. Broken from the start; yet constant. Fa'iza Mohammed grew up very sheltered in a conservative Muslim home. Her otherwise sane life is thrust into turmoil when she finds herself falling for someone with a completely different set of values from hers when she comes to Toronto for University. She tries to fight it, but there's an undeniable attraction simmering between them. She soon realizes that they are probably better apart - but can they stay away from each other? Ahmad Babangida believes everything is a construct. Society and religion condition people to be sheep, and he goes out of his way to live his life on his terms. His attraction to Fa'iza doesn't help as the lines between halal and haram start to become blurred. When a revelation breaks them apart, they hold a secret, one that could tear the seams of the Islamic upbringing their family holds in high regard. Five years later, is it too late for them, or is the road to redemption shut against them for crossing the lines into forbidden paths? As seen on London Post and New York Weekly.

And, although Ali is still coming to terms with the loss of his mother and exploring his identity as a Muslim, and although Amirah has sworn never to get married, they can't stop thinking about each other. Can Ali and Amirah ever have a halal "happily ever after"? Na'ima B. Robert is descended from Scottish Highlanders on her father's side and the Zulu people on her mother's side.

She has written several multicultural books for children which have won, and been shortlisted, for numerous awards. Na'ima divides her time between London and Cairo, Egypt, and dreams of living on a farm with her own horses. Until then, she is happy to be a mum to her four children and keep reading and writing books that take her to a different world each time.
