What A Nice Boy You Are

Sami has always tried to live gently. That is a decision he made at seven years old—one he never fully understood. He isn't sure he does at fifteen either, especially while navigating the turbulence of adolescence within a fractured Muslim family: sibling rivalries, his mother's lingering bitterness, and his father's second marriage.

In a world that is both loving and alienating, Sami must discover the true meaning of kindness and resilience, and find the courage to break free from the mistakes that continue to shape him.

Tender and deeply human, What A Nice Boy You Are is a coming-of-age story about compassion, belonging, and forgiveness—for oneself and others.
