About this listen

Three siblings. Three promises. Three lifetimes of saying all the wrong things…

“A family drama with a huge amount of heart… A powerful, hopeful read.”—Bobby Palmer

“A layered and powerful story about family and identity. Tufayel Ahmed is a talented and vital voice.”—Lauren Ho

“Entertaining, poignant, and eye-opening.”—Justin Myers (The Guyliner)

Since their mother’s death, siblings Imran, Sumaya and Majid have drifted in three very different directions, trying to live up to the last promises they each made to her. But when a viral news piece throws an unwanted spotlight on the family, they’re drawn back into each other’s lives for the first time in years.

With the media attention exposing the cracks in Imran’s already fragile marriage, he begs Sumaya to return from New York to help—but living under the same roof again after all this time brings up all the secrets they’d both thought long-buried. And now nothing can stop the truth from coming out…

With the promises they once made in tatters, is this a chance for the siblings to finally live the lives they’ve always wanted and rebuild the bond they once had? Or has too much already been said?
