Muslim Love

Every book in this series tells you a real story. In fact, these stories are more wondrous than any you'd ever find in fairy tales. Why? Simply because they are true historical events, and not mere imagination. The stories have been selected and written with great care into a delicious blend of literary fun and tarbiyah.

It’s 2003. It’s been several months since the US officially declared war on Iraq and the political world has evolved. Shadi, who wears a hijab, a visible allegiance to Islam, keeps her head down. Hate crimes are spiking. Undercover FBI agents are infiltrating mosques and interrogating members of the congregation, and the local Muslim community is beginning to fracture. Shadi hears the arguments between families about what it means to be Muslim, about what they should be doing and saying as a community, but she does not engage.

Lucy thinks she’s better than the other girls. Maybe if she’s pointing fingers at everyone else, no one will see the secret she’s hiding. Ulana comes from a conservative Muslim family where reputation is everything. One rumour - true or false - can destroy futures. Trina likes to party. She’s kissed a lot of boys. She’s even shown her red bra to one. But she didn’t consent to that night at Lucy’s party. So why doesn’t anyone believe her?

Faith and Paula are childhood friends who accept Islam just as Faith’s relationship with her boyfriend, John, becomes serious…and just as Paula comes out as gay. With their newfound Muslim identity, must Faith sacrifice John, and Paula her sexuality?
