Noor is a young man living in Pakistan who longs to do something meaningful with his life. Yielding to strict family expectations for his future, he puts his dreams of an education on hold as he marries and welcomes a child into his life.
But when tragedy strikes, turning his entire world upside down, Noor is forced to reevaluate what he thinks he knows about himself-as well as what he believes is truly meaningful. He and his entire family struggle to move forward with their lives, slogging through the pain with the support that only love can provide.
Told from the perspective of Noor, his wife, and their children, The 11th Step is a multigenerational story of tragedy, triumph, failure, terror, and joy in the vein of The Alchemist and The Fine Balance.
Weaving its way through the subjects of depression, suicide, migration, devotion, and freedom, author Tami Shaikh explores the hidden territories of the mind in a gripping tale about the power of love and the unshakeable bond of family.
