“Companions of the Garden,” my as-yet unpublished novel, chronicles the friendship of two wayfaring New Yorkers on a road trip to New Orleans - a Muslim woman and a non-Muslim man, both young, both American, and both hungry to challenge the social norms in which both feel constrained. Through this blog, I hope not only to generate interest in the book itself, but also the issues it seeks to address: those of gender, religion, and national identity, and the role of the spirit in an age of flux.
