  1. I have been searching for Dr Fatima Shah book “Sunshine & Shadows” for over a year now. I searched extensively online and in book shops in Pakistan but have been unable to get hold of it.
    I am writing a book on Inspiring Pakistanis which will have summary of biographies from 20 Pakistanis who, I believe, demonstrated strong leadership and are role models for the people in Pakistan. Dr Fatima Shah is one of those Pakistanis and I am keen to read her autobiography to learn more about her life.
    I have watched her interviews available on youtube and collected a few articles about her life. However, it is important for me to read her autobiography to have an in depth understanding of her life story. I will appreciate if you could let me know of someone who is willing to sell her book. Alternatively, if the electronic version of her book is available then I will be happy to get it.
    Thanks for your help.

    1. Hi Naveed, Are you still looking for a copy? Dr. Shah was my great grandmother and my family may have a few extra copies
