Readers and Friends -

I was thrilled to see that The Pearl That Broke Its Shell was nominated as a Best Book of 2014 in 2 categories - Fiction and Debut Goodreads Authors. What a surprise! Of course, this has everything to do with having incredibly supportive readers. I'm grateful to all of you who have shared in Rahima and Shekiba's journeys.

The voting is open now. Please take a look at the Goodreads Home Page for a link to cast your vote. I would love to see Pearl make it to the next round.

Thanks, as always, for reading --

Nadia
