Author: Laila Ibrahim
Historical Fiction, 1920s, California & China
​FREE with Kindle download with Amazon Prime

In China, her arranged marriage starts with her family's deception.  In California, she learns her husband has secrets of his own.  Throughout the same questions emerges, "What would you do to survive? What would you do to save those you love?" 

The Paper Wife is a powerful, haunting story. The reader is taken into the mind and soul of women in this culture, during this time period.  You see the resilience and strength.  While there are parts difficult to take, it is a book you should read as it takes the reader closer to understanding.  And understanding is necessary for empathy, the core of what makes us a civilized society.
