From the history of her parents settling in the UK after leaving Pakistan - following the partition of India - to stories of growing up in a lively British Asian family, Aisha invites the reader to register their decision to donate and discuss it with their family. She conveys the message that the situation was a family matter, but also above all else, Family Matters. Finally even if the person who died wanted to donate, it is ultimately their family who will be asked about consenting to organ donation. The family will get the final say, thereby making it a family matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is in several parts.
