Their transformation wont last forever, though-unless the two best friends can figure out a way to make it stick and make their newfound freedoms endure.Nadia Hashimis first novel for adults, The Pearl That Broke Its Shell, was a bestseller that shares a bacha posh character with One Half from the East.
