Five Pebbles in a Pond by Afroz Martino

Five Pebbles In A Pond may be a work of fiction, but this very human tale reads like a true-to-life memoir. The “pebbles” in question are the members of an all-girl group of immigrants who meet by chance at university and become lifelong friends. While the pace of the book jumps around a bit, the unity between the friends does not, as they face all manner of challenges in their lives and loves, and complex families, with diverse races, religions, and traditions creating both a sense of belonging and friction in this vibrant tapestry of intersectional feminism.
