"Portrait of two Muslim sisters, once closely bonded, but now on divergent paths as one embraces her religion and the other remains secular"-- - Baker & Taylor
The bond between Muslim sisters Sohane and Djelila is tested by Sohane's embrace of her faith and Djelila's preference for a secular life, choices that cause both to be bullied until a devastating tragedy reveals the complexity of their relationship and the consequences they face for being true to themselves. Simultaneous eBook. - Random House, Inc.
For readers of The Tyrantâs Daughter, Out of Nowhere, and I Am Malala, this poignant story about two Muslim sisters is about love, loss, religion, forgiveness, womenâs rights, and freedom.Â
Â
Two sisters. Two lives. One future.
Sohane loves no one more than her beautiful, carefree younger sister, Djelila. And she hates no one as much. They used to share everything. But now, Djelila is spending more time with her friends, partying, and hanging out with boys, while Sohane is becoming more religious.
When Sohane starts wearing a head scarf, her school threatens to expel her. Meanwhile, Djelila is harassed by neighborhood bullies for not being Muslim enough. Sohane canât help thinking that Djelila deserves what she gets. But she never could have imagined just how far things would go. . . .

"In seamless chapters transitioning between present and past, this short, fast-paced, tragic story contrasting two clearly drawn Muslim sisters explores similar contemporary cultural and religious issues portrayed in Randa Abdel-Fattahâs Does My Head Look Big in This?"âSchool Library Journal
âA fair and balanced look at not just two equal and opposite perspectives on these issues, but at the multiple, refracted, messy nuances in between.ââThe Bulletin
âA searing portrait of the conflicts within a culture.ââVOYAÂ
âSarn writes with concise, timely insight about culture, religion, and politics, but what lingers most is the powerful bonds of sisterhood.ââsmithsonianapa.org
