Borrowed Pages From My Own Book

Dua Al Khalib is a celebrated author whose love stories have touched millions of readers.

Yet behind every story she writes is a secret she has never put on paper.

She has spent eight years married to a man she once believed she could build a life with. To the outside world, they are a happy couple—a respected family with a beautiful daughter and a life most people would envy.

But some stories look very different from the inside.

Dua has learned not to ask for the things she wants. She has learned to smile, to stay, and to accept the life she was given.

Until one ordinary journey brings an unexpected stranger into her life.

Kang Ji-han is a world-famous Korean singer who knows nothing about Dua when he takes the seat beside her on a flight.

He doesn’t know her story.

He doesn’t know why her smile feels different from the words he overhears.

And she certainly doesn’t know that a stranger’s quiet curiosity will eventually make her question everything she has spent years accepting.

Dua has always believed that some things are simply meant to remain unwritten.

But what happens when life begins writing a chapter she never intended to live?

Some people receive the things you spend your whole life learning to live without.

Borrowed Pages From My Own Book is a story about loneliness, love, sacrifice, and the painful distance between the life we accept and the life our hearts secretly long for.
