    About this audiobook

    Allie Abraham has it all going for her—she’s a straight-A student with good friends and a close-knit family, and she’s dating popular, sweet Wells Henderson. There’s only one problem: Wells’ father is Jack Henderson, America’s most famous conservative shock jock, and Allie hasn’t told Wells that her family is Muslim. It’s not like Allie’s religion is a secret. It’s just that her parents don’t practice and raised her to keep it to herself. But as Allie witnesses Islamophobia in her small town and across the nation, she decides to embrace her faith&mdsah;study it, practice it, and even face misunderstanding for it. But who is Allie if she sheds the façade of the “perfect” all-American girl?

    Editor's Note

    Finding strength in authenticity…

    Allie has it all: top grades, good friends, and a great boyfriend. She also has a big problem: her boyfriend’s conservative dad is a famous shock jock who doesn’t know she’s Muslim. This touching, insightful exploration of identity, Islamophobia, and finding strength in authenticity will resonate with readers.

      There's a lot going on in this story. Allie is Muslim but her family doesn't practice. She has "passed" as white for her whole life, but watched her father and other Muslims be mistreated and feared. When Allie decides to explore and even embrace the religion and culture that her family has kept private, it stirs up family attitudes as well as puts pressure on the relationships she has at school. Thought provoking.

      a wonderful book about a young teenage girl discovering her faith for herself and no one else. reading this was a joyous way for me to celebrate Eid.
    • 1/5
      Horrible book that pushes the narrative that islam is wonderful. It's not. Evil misogynistic group of males that enslave women and young girls. Heartbreaking. Some will call it Islamophobia, go tell that to the little 12 year old girls being raped. ??
