Description
Sabriya has trained hard for summer ballet auditions, so she’s devastated when everything is canceled after a terrorist attack. She takes solace in writing in her private online journal, You Truly Assumed, only to discover it isn’t so private after
all—and there are many out there like her, hoping to be heard. Including …
Zakat can’t wait to leave her hometown to pursue her dreams, but her family fears for her safety. With her best friend growing distant, finding a kindred voice online seems like fate. Yet when her own haven is vandalized, Zakat wonders if
she’ll ever feel safe again.
Farah doesn’t want to visit her father and his new family. But sometimes a change of place brings a change of heart—for Farah, for the boy she might love, and for the new friends she meets through You Truly Assumed.
When threatening comments and emails try to silence them, the three must decide: shut things down and stay safe … or risk it all and let their voices be heard.
Advance Praise
“Sabreen illuminates the often-overlooked perspectives of Black Muslim teen girls in this emotionally charged debut… She succeeds in relating the frustrating reality of having a part of one’s identity acknowledged at the expense of another, and the resilience and love required to persist despite unfounded hate.” —Publishers Weekly
“Compelling storytelling that explores the challenges and rewards of being Black and Muslim is where this novel excels, and it will prompt readers to reflect on their own assumptions… An ambitious debut that will hopefully pave the way for more narratives centering Black Muslim experiences.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Gripping.” —Bust Magazine
