Synopsis:  My Sisters Made of Light is a new novel set inside Pakistan's human rights movement, 1958-1994--a compelling, heartbreaking, and sometimes terrifying look into the lives of women and men in the social, political, and religious maze that is Pakistan.  My Sisters Made of Light is a novel about the extraordinary courage  of ordinary women living in the closed society that is contemporary  Pakistan.  This raw but inspiring story of grass-roots resistance against oppression and injustice will spark the caring intelligence of  readers everywhere.

"I started reading My Sisters Made of Light and could not put it down. It is a powerful story, well-presented, well-researched, and written with passion. The labor of duty became a labor of love. I read voraciously but have not come across a work which deals so effectively and skillfully with the cultural fault lines of Pakistani society." —S. Akhtar Ehtisham, author of A Medical Doctor Examines Life on Three Continents: A Pakistani View

The Chez Nous Reston Salon was founded by Reston resident Najwa Saad in May 2008, to gather people together to enjoy dinner, conversation and an evening of “thoughtful entertainment” with speakers who are distinguished in their fields. Topics are eclectic. There’s always something new to learn and someone new to meet!
