The author dedicated her book to fond memories of her father, who died two years ago while working in Doha. She describes her father as a mentor, inspiration, and everything. A special poem called ‘Daddy’s girl’ depicts her father’s lasting influence on her upbringing.
Junaid first wanted to be an author at the age of 10 and fulfilled the dream at nineteen. She had decided the title of this book a long time ago and is on the way to her second book - a novel to inspire the readers. She also admires photography and strives to become a professional photographer.
