Description
Salaam, With Love by Sara Sharaf Beg is a heartfelt young adult contemporary novel about family, faith and first love. When Dua travels to New York City to spend the holy month of Ramadan with relatives she hasn’t seen in years, she expects an unforgettable visit—but not the challenges of fitting into a crowded, conservative household. As she reconnects with her extended family, especially her distant cousin Mahnoor, Dua begins to question where she belongs and what truly matters to her.
Between the daily rhythms of Ramadan and unexpected encounters with Hassan, a charming drummer in a Muslim band, Dua finds herself navigating friendship, romance and self-discovery. With warmth, humour and authenticity, the novel explores the importance of family, cultural identity, faith and growing into the person you want to become. Salaam, With Love is an uplifting coming-of-age story that celebrates community, tradition and the excitement of first love.
This book is an excellent choice for readers who enjoy YA contemporary fiction featuring diverse characters, family relationships, romance and meaningful personal growth.
