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." --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Mustafah Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Mustafah Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Fiction Mustafah Checked out 04/30/2024 Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Fiction Mustafah Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Mustafah Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Fiction Mustafah Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
