Fatima Tate is 17, wants to be a pastry chef and her parents are ready to arrange her marriage. Good news is the Muslim Prince Charming Raheem wants to be allowed to marry her! And after meeting a year ago not that her parents know things seem like they may be perfect! But things seem to change when the ring is on Fatima’s finger.
This is a beautiful story of family, community and finding your own strength from the story of a young Muslim woman. If you’re looking for a powerful and gentle YA story featuring these themes - this book is the one for you! 😍
