Amirah lives in the United States with her parents, her older brother (Ahmed), her twin (Amir) and her 2 younger sisters (Amina and Ayaan). She's thankful for everything Allah(SWT) has given her. She's blessed to have the caring friends and family she has. 

She always looks for the good in all people even if they're down right nasty! Even when people make fun of her for wearing the hijab she still finds the good in people. 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.
