"Not all Muslims are terrorists." You know how people say never to judge a book by its cover? I shouldn't have done that myself. Growing up with racist parents planted a negative reputation of Muslims in my head. So, I started believing everything they've told me. I thought Muslims were the reason crisis was happening around the world. I thought Islam was an evil religion. But, boy, was I wrong. Everything changed, the day I met the Muslimah next door.

Assalamoalykum beautiful people.

Dear (diary)....... Today is August 1 2016. Does that ring a bell? I just hope it does because if it doesn't ring a bell to your ears you're dead. Like really dead⚰ I'm going to tear you off and after that I'll burn you and dispose your ashes. So be warned! Well in case you forgot today is August 1 2016. Which means it is 25 days to go. Yay! Can't wait....... I hope everything goes well This book is about Hauwa Ahmed, a crazy 17 year old, counting down to her 18th. She's crazy, wild, a big fan of big sean might I add and...searching for love?......What could possibly go wrong. After all, she is turning 18😉 Follow Hauwa as she counts down to her 18th birthday. And oh yeah...help her find "love"

I have lived two lives. The one before the war, and the one after.
