Blurb

Finding Amal is a literary novel that seeks to empower young Muslim women grappling with societal conventions to a new stimulating intellectual level. It is a unique coming-of-age story that reveals the relationship between Islam and the West throughout the last few centuries in an entertaining, yet thought-provoking way. Hadeel, a young devout Muslim woman from Kuwait, embarks on a secret journey to America to save her Aunt Amal's soul from Hell. In Boulder, Colorado, she meets Jonathan, her aunt's grieving husband for the first time. Jonathan, who asked Hadeel to visit, is hoping she'd clear her aunt's name from defamation, and reclaim the copyright to a literary discovery related to Washington Irving, Percy Shelley, and the nineteenth-century British Poet Laureate Robert Southey.,
