Huda F Cares?
Huda and her sisters are back and excited for their summer vacation to Disney World. But the road trip to get there? Not so much. Being crammed in a car for twenty-four hours and getting stares while praying in public isn’t exactly a walk in the park. But Huda’s determined to make the most of it.
Once there, Huda can’t shake off her self-consciousness about being so visibly Muslim. Huda faces a roller coaster of emotions and experiences that test her resolve and make her question her perceptions of the world.
Through ups and downs, twists and wild turns, Huda tries to navigate the world outside her comfort zone and even develops (gasp!) a new appreciation for her sisters and their bond.
Huda F Are You?
Huda and her family just moved to Dearborn, Michigan, a small town with a big Muslim population. In her old town, Huda knew exactly who she was: She was the hijabi girl. But in Dearborn, everyone is the hijabi girl.
Huda is lost in a sea of hijabis, and she can’t rely on her hijab to define her anymore. She has to define herself. So she tries on a bunch of cliques, but she isn’t a hijabi fashionista or a hijabi athlete or a hijabi gamer. She’s not the one who knows everything about her religion or the one all the guys like. She’s miscellaneous, which makes her feel like no one at all. Until she realizes that it’ll take finding out who she isn’t to figure out who she is.
