Description
Between Two Moons is a moving portrayal of family, survival, and celebration, set against the vibrant backdrop of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, during the holy month of Ramadan.
As twin sisters Amira and Lina prepare to graduate high school, they plan a summer of teenage revelry, testing the limits of their freedom and identities. But their plans are disrupted by the return of their older brother, whose mysterious behavior threatens to upend the delicate family balance. Meanwhile, a sense of disquiet pervades the neighborhood, as a protest and a violent act spark tensions within the Arab community.
This gorgeously written and intimate family story challenges the reader to interrogate their own assumptions about faith, family, and community, and what it means to be a young Muslim in America.
