She is spit on, objects thrown at her but most of all they try take her hijab off! Yet she still has the heart to forgive people and look at the positive side of them.

Little does she know her world comes crashing down or does it when there's 2 new students who go to the same school as her. One is a jerk to her while the other is too nice that it becomes creepy. 

Come join Amirah in her journey living in the West, battling hardships and dealing with her relationships with her family and friends.  Will she find the good in people this time around. Will she fight of the hatred she is received for being a Muslimah wearing a hijab living in the West. 



ATTENTION: 
This story has things do with that me, my family or friends have dealt with living in a non-Muslim country. This is a book of my creativity as well added. I'm just trying to help us Muslims dealing with these issues and as well as non-Muslims. I struggle with forgiving people but I am trying.  It's a book to basically help people realize what Muslims are going through with all of the hatred about Muslims in the news and terrorist groups especially with the election.

"What?" Ethan says in his all too familiar deep, rude voice. Ethan has pitch-black hair, is 6 feet tall, with a solid build. His deep grey eyes are glaring at me right now. His jawline is so sharp I'm sure it can cut through anything. "You hit me, spilling my coffee all over me," I say, pointing out the obvious. "So, what do you want me to do about it?" he asks, like he's done nothing wrong. "You're supposed to say sorry," I say in a duh tone. "And why should I?" "Because that's what people with manners do." "I know that, but you don't deserve a sorry from me." "Wow. And why is that?" "Because black bitches like you don't deserve it," he says with a sneer. "I have told you times without number to stop calling me that," I say, angry at his insults. "Make me," Ethan says, taking a dangerous step closer. I don't say anything but hiss and walk past him. I don't know why I expected him to apologize. It's Ethan, after all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethan is a young male about to get his first degree, he might look normal to the world, but don't we all have our demons inside.
