520    Life is quiet and ordinary in Amal's Pakistani village, 
       but she had no complaints, and besides, she's busy 
       pursuing her dream of becoming a teacher one day. Her 
       dreams are temporarily dashed when--as the eldest daughter
       --she must stay home from school to take care of her 
       siblings. Amal is upset, but she doesn't lose hope and 
       finds ways to continue learning. Then the unimaginable 
       happens--after an accidental run-in with the son of her 
       village's corrupt landlord, Amal must work as his family's
       servant to pay off her own family's debt.   Life at the 
       opulent Khan estate is full of heartbreak and struggle for
       Amal--especially when she inadvertently makes an enemy of 
       a girl named Nabila. Most troubling, though, is Amal's 
       growing awareness of the Khans' nefarious dealings. When 
       it becomes clear just how far they will go to protect 
       their interests, Amal realizes she will have to find a way
       to work with others if they are ever to exact change in a 
       cruel status quo, and if Amal is ever to achieve her 
       dreams.
