Balm for Wounds

About this book

Balm for Wounds, a collection by Moro Mustafa and Naglaa Zaki, looks closely at human emotions, relationships, and the choices that can either deepen pain or begin to heal it. In “Barren Land,” Rahaf, a beautiful young woman from the countryside, reaches a decisive crossroads: should she agree to marry Hazem when her heart remains uncertain? Across the collection, intimate conflicts and surprising developments reveal how people carry their wounds—and how compassion, courage, and honest choices may offer a way forward.
