Description
The internationally acclaimed author of If I Should Speak, A Voice, and Footsteps introduces her first novel written independent of the If I Should Speak trilogy.
In Realities of Submission, the reader witnesses the heart, mind, and life of Renee Morris, the narrator of this reflective tale. Told in three parts, Renee's first person narrative tells of a stringent childhood in her father's church and her ultimate submission to the religion of her nature in young adulthood. As Renee embraces Islam, the spiritual tranquility of her initial conversion begins to wane as she faces the painful realities of navigating the Muslim experience itself. At times humorous and at times painful, the story touches the reader's deepest thoughts and incites the familiar questioning of the human soul.
“Phenomenally powerful . . . moving.” —Yasmin bint Ismail, author of A Hand Through the Door for My New Sister
