Letters to Benazir

On December 27th 2007, Neelum Insaaf turned sixteen. Before even waking from her Northside Chicago bed, blood had spilled in Pakistan, her ethnic country, on the other side of the world. Benazir Bhutto was assassinated. On a quest to understand her country, its politics, and the white veiled lady swarming her thoughts, Insaaf’s Letters to Benazir is a passage into the life of the two-time former Prime Minister of Pakistan. This tale is of ambition, pain, and corruption interweaved with letters written to Benazir Bhutto by a young adult who is looking for some answers in her own life.
