From the critically acclaimed author of Amina's Voice comes a new
story inspired by Louisa May Alcott's beloved classic, Little Women,
featuring four sisters from a modern American Muslim family living in
Georgia.
When Jameela Mirza is picked to be feature editor of her middle school
newspaper, she's one step closer to being an award-winning journalist
like her late grandfather. The problem is her editor-in-chief keeps
shooting down her article ideas. Jameela's assigned to write about the
new boy in school, who has a cool British accent but doesn't share much,
and wonders how she'll make his story gripping enough to enter into a
national media contest.
Jameela, along with her three sisters, is devastated when their father
needs to take a job overseas, away from their cozy Georgia home for six
months. Missing him makes Jameela determined to write an epic
article--one to make her dad extra proud. But when her younger sister
gets seriously ill, Jameela's world turns upside down. And as her hunger
for fame looks like it might cost her a blossoming friendship, Jameela
questions what matters most, and whether she's cut out to be a
journalist at all...
