A uniquely American story told in powerful, evocative prose, The Beauty of Your Face navigates a country growing ever more divided. Afaf Rahman, the daughter of Palestinian immigrants, is the principal of Nurrideen School for Girls, a Muslim school in the Chicago suburbs. One morning, a shooter -- radicalized by the online alt-right -- attacks the school. As Afaf listens to his terrifying progress, we are swept back through her memories: the bigotry she faced as a child, her mother's dreams of returning to Palestine, and the devastating disappearance of her older sister that tore her family apart. Still, there is the sweetness of the music from her father's oud, and the hope and community Afaf finally finds in Islam. The Beauty of Your Face is a profound and poignant exploration of one woman's life in a nation at odds with its ideals." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a School shootings $z Illinois $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Palestinian Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Muslims $z United States $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Muslims. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01031029 650 7 $a Palestinian Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051589 650 7 $a School shootings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01107761 651 7 $a Illinois. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205143 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 941 $a 14 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728020901.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518024344.0 952 $l BIPB251 $d 20211215012846.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20210917055747.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20210728011048.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20210304010618.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210203010741.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806025456.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200701010034.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20200514010330.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20200505011350.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200502010249.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20200409011251.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20200407021931.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8DCFD2EE789511EA8FAC8C5897128E48 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
