This was a beautiful book and I enjoyed reading it despite how sad this book is. The way Samra was able to share her story was eloquently written.

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

a moving, thought-provoking, and wholly important memoir. i was particularly affected by samra's descriptions of her complex relationship with her faith not simply as a religion but a facet of her roots, culture and self. worth checking out the "content warnings" if you need them before reading.
