Amal Unbound

Short middle-grade audiobook about the oldest daughter of a Pakistani family, Amal, who dreams of going to college and becoming a teacher, but finds herself missing school to help her mother, who is suffering from postpartum depression. Because it was meant for the younger set, it was quite a bit idealistic in its notions about indentured servitude and societal hierarchies, but it was still a good story and I enjoyed spending time with Amal and her sisters and the little family she creates for herself when the need presents.
