Growing up in Pakistan, Maria Latif has been bounced between reluctant relatives for as long as she can remember-first because of her parents' constant travel, and then because of their deaths.
A Bit of Earth is a reimagining of the classic The Secret Garden, perfect for fans of Other Words for Home and The Bridge Home.
But what happens when she feels the sudden urge to put down roots in the most unexpected of places? Karuna Riazi crafts a tender coming-of-age story about friendship, family, and new beginnings. Maria Latif is used to not having a space of her own. "A sweet and warm-hearted tale with unforgettable characters."-Aisha Saeed, bestselling author of Amal Unbound "Beautiful! Simply beautiful!
