Wrote The Colour of God (Oneworld Publications $25) in response to the death of her nephew. She began to re-examine the beliefs and ideals with which she was raised. In her writing, Chaudhry mixes personal experiences with social commentary to find the meaning of faith and belonging, love and betrayal, family and womanhood. In doing so, she offers a vision of what wholeness might look like in a world bent on fracturing us from within. "The men whose ideas formed me to my very core, Muslim and Christian, brown and white, dead long ago -- none of them came up with their ideas with me in mind," she says.
