Now living alone in San Francisco, estranged from her African American ex-husband, Seema is one week away from delivering a baby boy, Ishraaq. Ishraaq's arrival has brought to Seema's side, for the first time in 15 years, her terminally ill mother, Nafeesa, and her devoutly religious, hijab-wearing sister Tahera, an ob/gyn living with her husband and two young children in Irving, Texas. But there is to be no easy reconciliation. Instead, this fateful week, narrated by the new-born Ishraaq, ends in an emergency delivery, revealing both a family and a country in distress. The characters confront the complex tensions in their relationships and within their innermost selves, even as their lives are upended by the vandalism of a family mosque in Irving during the lead-up to President Obama's first mid-term elections. Ishraaq must make sense of the broken family and the complicated world that awaits him"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a East Indians $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Muslim families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Estranged families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Newborn infants $v Fiction. 941 $a 20 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314022725.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104020606.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032712.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023935.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014752.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064906.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728020142.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014245.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220420010238.0 952 $l VOPB384 $d 20220329023140.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20211022010509.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20211009013014.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20211002013151.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20211002012211.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210910010420.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210903015231.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210902011150.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210902010619.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210824012214.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210805010041.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6408DECEF5B211EBBE1F64065AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
