About The Book
Senior year is tough in Sarah Ali's hometown of Wickley, Pennsylvania. As if AP classes aren't enough - Islamphobes are showing up at the school protesting her existence! She doesn't need an extra complication. But suddenly, there's Jason.
Jason, who’s new in town. Jason, who has gorgeous grey eyes and tousled hair. Jason, who is quiet and respectful and stands up for her.
Feelings and faith collide as Sarah struggles to convince everyone - including herself - that Jason is just an acquaintance.
