The anthology is a testament to the talent of new writers from Pakistan. This collection of storieswritten for a story-writing competition arranged by Oxford University Press Pakistanis based on the idea that everyone has a good story to tell. These stories, written by many individuals separately, together chronicle the human spirit.

There are four themes, Paved and Unpaved Ways, The Meaning of Me, Because this is what Matters and The Bravest Place on Earth. There are stories of kindness and empathy, social injusticeand a real sense of belief and hope for a better future.

This anthology will be a welcome addition to school libraries, especially schools that offer extended reading for their students in O and A level study programmes.
