AUW (An Unproductive Woman) was written in the span of two years beginning in 1997. There were attempts at publication, however with a new child and re-entry into college, AUW remained buried in a box for some years.
In the summer of 2008, with the encouragement of her husband, Khaalidah decided to self publish AUW. This is a labor of love as AUW is a story that Khaalidah has always wished to share with others, as it tells the timeless story of love between a husband and his wife, the tests of loyalty and heartbreak, and eventually redemption. AUW brings this timeless scenario to the reading public as it also introduces little known and often misunderstood cultures and traditions.
The adventure begins here.

Book Reviews
I read An Unproductive Woman in three days. I couldn’t put the book down! That Sauda is a piece of work. And Asabe, could anyone be that good?

What a great success story! I have read a few stories about people who have had a lot of troubles getting their books published. Tonight I read about an author Mary Patrick Kavanaugh, who has tried several times to get her book published and has now decided to just throw a funeral for her unpublished work.
