Safiyah’s husband has taken a second wife and started a new life in Lahore. Safiyah must return to India alone and raise her daughters, Henna and Laila.

She is surprised by the offer of a second chance of happiness with a faithful admirer, but she is a mother first and has a difficult decision to make. She must weigh her happiness against the future of her daughters, who, despite her efforts, have also been vulnerable to the unspoken longings of the heart.

Two questions:
~can it stand alone as a story (if I haven't read books 1 & 2 first?
~can I have a short extension (coming in so late in the process)? I may not need it, as the story is short, but I hate to feel rushed.

That would be fine. I agree with Nour, the first two are not necessary.
