“[A] superb snapshot of the Americans of Arab-speaking descent… [Malek has] a remarkable ability to capture her subjects' voices… an excellent book, one certain to put right some of the wrongs it catalogues.”

— Publishers Weekly (starred review/ Pick of the Week)

 “A significant, timely contribution to the understanding of the Arab-American story.”

— Kirkus

“[Malek’s] direct, open style [using] diverse individual stories... works beautifully... An essential addition to the Booklist Core Collection.”
