WHY NO BHINE

In my second YA novel, WHY NO BHINE, I follow the story of Jubair, a young boy who is left behind by his mother, who escaped to Malaysia with three other children and had to leave one child behind. In the July NYT article, it is one year later and the Rohinya family's lot has not improved much in Malaysia. But what is worse is that Jubair, who was left at thirteen, is now fourteen and has grown increasingly angrier at his Mom and his family. This is not just a story of abandonment, but it is a significant human right's story, which the world needs to pay attention to.
