Shahnaz zaidi is a storyteller with a mission- to bring the invisible into light and turn silence into powerful prose. Her debut novel, Baby's Breath, was validated by Mental Health of America (MHA) as one of the finest works of fiction on autism, a testament to her deep empathy and commitment to meaningful narratives. Her following novels continued this path: Foxglove sheds light on kyphosis, a spinal condition often misunderstood or ignored, while Birds of Paradise explores the test of friendship during war, showing how bonds endure in the harshest of times. Shahnaz draws inspiration from the quiet strength of people around her, especially women who carry untold stories within them. With a background in education and a deep connection to human psychology, she writes not just to entertain, but to heal, educate and awaken.
