β¦ Synopsis
From the critically acclaimed author of Aminaβs Voice comes a new story inspired by Louisa May Alcottβs 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, sheβs 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. Jameelaβs assigned to write about the new boy in school, who has a cool British accent but doesnβt share much, and wonders how sheβll 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 articleβone to make her dad extra proud. But when her younger sister gets seriously ill, Jameelaβs 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 sheβs cut out to be a journalist at all... **
