About this book

At just 17, Bismillah made an audacious choice to marry a young Englishman, defying her traditional Muslim family and father's guidance. Yearning to pursue studies, she embarked on an extraordinary journey spanning turbulent historic events. From surviving World War II Japanese occupation in Malaya to overcoming 1960's British racial discrimination in Birmingham, Bismillah weathered profound challenges that shaped her unlikely destiny. With poignant insight, she reveals the outsized influence families wield upon access to education and life chances. Through grit and grace, Bismillah surmounted societal barriers to become an education inspector in England, later hoping to contribute to Malaysia's education initiatives, Bismillah returned to Malaysia to face unexpected challenges.
