Love from A to Z meets Fatima Tate Takes the Cake, in which high schooler Aleena, after losing her father, has her faith in Islam tested by depression, bullying, and a boy she never expected to fall for.
Aleena is depressed. Her father is gone, her family has moved on from his death without her, and her freshman year of high school is about to start. Trapped in a spiral of deteriorating mental health and bad habits, Aleena begins to lose the joys she has left-baking and gardening.
When she meets Zayn, a kind-hearted boy who believes she can overcome her pain, Aleena realizes it's okay to ask for help. But relentless bullying at school threatens to unwind her progress and deepens her despair.
Can Aleena embrace her imperfections to learn that being unapologetically Muslim is a source of strength to heal herself?
Flower Child is a heartwarming coming-of-age story that challenges young Muslim girls to accept their flaws, be strong, and understand their religion.
