PRAISE FOR An Infidel in Paradise: "This is an honest and realistic story about being an outsider in another country ... Laidlaw does not hold back from depicting some of the less-attractive aspects of Pakistani life, but she also conveys a sense of the beauty and wonder of this culture." - School Library Journal "Laidlaw, a globetrotting social worker, puts her firsthand knowledge of faraway lands and cultures to good use in this exciting tale of a Canadian teen's encounters with some of the best and worst features of a radically different society. Emma's first-person, present-tense narration is realistic and compelling." - VOYA Magazine PRAISE FOR The Voice Inside My Head : "S.J. Laidlaw lays out a crisp, enticing, and realistic fictional piece of work with a grippingly vivid, unexpected ending. The beauty of the story here is one of the unfaltering friendship that can be found in siblings ... the believable dialogue and dialect shines in The Voice Inside My Head . This is quite simply a page-turner, and one that will leave voices inside your head for days after." - Children's Book Review "Luke's determined, heartfelt first-person narration rings true. Laidlaw's fast-paced mystery makes great use of its well-realized, unique setting, particularly regarding the tensions between tourists and local residents." - Booklist AWARDS FOR An Infidel in Paradise : Winner, National Chapter of Canada's IODE Violet Downey Book Award Finalist, Saskatchewan Young Readers Choice Award's Snow Willow Award Selected, VOYA's Top Shelf Fiction for Middle School Readers Selected, Ontario Library Association's Best Bets List for Teens and Children - Honourable Mention YA Fiction AWARDS for The Voice Inside My Head : Selected, Canadian Library Association's Young Adult Honour Book of the Year Finalist, Arthur Ellis Award's Best Juvenile/YA Crime Book (winner to be announced)

Across the sprawling city, fifteen-year-old Grace enjoys a life of privilege. Her father, the CEO of one of India's largest international banks, has brought his family to Mumbai where they live in unparalleled luxury. But Grace's seemingly perfect life is shattered when she becomes a victim of a cruel online attack. When their paths intersect, Noor and Grace will be changed forever. Can two girls living in vastly different worlds find a common path? Award-winning author S.J. Laidlaw masterfully weaves together their stories in a way that resonates across class and culture.

Grace is the Canadian daughter of the CEO of one of Mumbai's largest banks. When the two eventually meet at a NGO support centre for women and children, their lives and perspectives are irrevocably changed., The parallel stories of two 15-year-old girls in Mumbai, one a sex worker and the other the daughter of a CEO.
