This is a fabulous coming of age story and very relevant to today's society. A 16-year-old girl named Allie's father is Arabic and Muslim by culture but doesn't practice Islam. Her mother was Catholic but converted to Islam upon marrying her father. Allie wasn't raised with religion, but when she meets some other Muslim girls at school, she becomes curious about her culture and Islam, and takes it upon herself to buy a Q'ran and see what it's all about. A boy she's been seeing, Wells, has a father who is famous for being bigoted against lots of people, including Muslims. Can Allie stand up for what she believes in or have to suffer in silence?
