A powerful story of resilience, motherhood, and the relentless pursuit of a dream.Amira is a dedicated physician with a clear calling: to heal patients in the demanding field of oncology and to leave her mark through clinical research and a PhD. But life, as she soon discovers, rarely follows a straight line.When unexpected challenges arise-including rejected scholarships, a career break for motherhood, and the isolating demands of academia-Amira's dreams are abruptly put on hold. Navigating the harsh realities of the medical world, where a gap in a resume is often met with doubt and closed doors, she is forced to step back and rebuild her identity from the ground up.Caught in a breathless balancing act between hospital wards, grueling research data, and raising a family, Amira must make impossible choices. The Long Detour chronicles her emotional and professional journey through setbacks, bureaucratic hurdles, and sacrifices. It is a testament to the fact that stepping back is not always a defeat, but sometimes the very method by which ambition survives.Inspired by true events, Dr. Sayeda Kamrun Naher's debut novel is a gripping, deeply relatable tale for anyone who has ever faced a closed door and decided to build their own path forward.
