Dear Pakistan by Rosanne Hawke explores the life of Jaime Richards, a girl who has spent most of her life in Pakistan. Returning to Australia feels like arriving on another planet compared to the country she has left behind.

In Australia, she faces the unfamiliar—boys who try to kiss her, men wearing shorts, and a pervasive use of the word "cool." Jaime wonders how she will ever know the right things to say, do, or wear. After all, this is meant to be her own culture.

This is a story of living beyond borders and discovering the gift of adapting to new cultures, especially one's own.
