The Perfect Prayer

A tradtional coming-of-age story in a traditional Moslem household ...in Mississippi.

Synopsis: Hadia is undeclared and undecided about a lot of things, and her lack of guidance in college (along with failing grades) lead her into her father's graduate course, Contemporary Moslem Societies. Her mother's working theory is the class will be an easy 'A' for Hadia because she is "a good moslem girl"...right? <br /><br /> What Hadia learns in her father's class leads her to question everything her parents have ever taught her about being Moslem...and being American.
