“Companions of the Garden,” my as-yet unpublished novel, chronicles the friendship of two wayfaring New Yorkers on a road trip to New Orleans - a Muslim woman and a non-Muslim man, both young, both American,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.

Happy Birthday, Mom
You're still my favorite feminist, and, to this day, one of my most inspiring role models. I hope it's a good one for you.
