The book Four Sisters was inspired by conversations with a Muslim lady (Fatima) with whom I workout at a local gym in Lincoln, Nebraska. Fatima, being very friendly, shared stories about her family. The book is about Fatima and her other three sisters as they are young Muslim American women who are very similar to other American women while upholding their Islam beliefs. The book tells some of what Islam/Muslim culture is. Conversations with Fatima were interesting and informative on immigration and Islam belief. Fatima's parents both fled Iraq, and they met in a refugee camp and were able to immigrate to the USA for a better life. Her parents brought with them their culture and beliefs from Iraq and have tried to assimilate into the American culture.
Since the 9/11 World Trade Center attack and the increasingly negative views about Islam and Muslims in the USA, there has been an increase in violence toward those who are Muslim. Hopefully, this book will provide a more positive view of those who are Muslim. It's important to respect other people's religious beliefs and practices if we want our own religious beliefs and practices to be respected. The current Christian nationalism in US politics has created misinformation and fear about Islam. This book does not support the Islam faith but does point out that it is no different from any other religious belief, and Muslims have the right to be who they are.
