The Truth about Peacock Blue

By Rosanne Hawke

A Pakistani schoolgirl's fight for justice against religious persecution.

Everything changes for Aster when her brother dies. To avoid an early marriage, her parents send her to a Muslim high school in his place. As a Christian, she faces discrimination and a teacher accuses her of blasphemy after a spelling mistake. A violent crowd demands justice, and Aster is jailed.

A young social justice lawyer takes her case, and Aster's Australian cousin starts an online campaign. But will it be enough to save her? The Truth About Peacock Blue explores themes of faith, resilience, and the fight for justice in a gripping YA story for readers interested in social issues and diverse cultures.
