Late Night Knocks - 9781524564476

It's hard to believe it's been a little over fifteen years since 9/11. My intention in writing this novel is to portray the trials and tribulations of an Arab American family in the aftermath of that fateful day. The story focuses on the plight of Amira, whose husband is wrongfully taken away by the FBI. From the confusion-laden night when Ali (her husband) is detained to the various channels that Amira is forced to explore in order to bring him home, the novel looks into the details of the journey of this determined woman. In the process, Amira is compelled to rediscover herself--in the spiritual, psychological, social, and even financial spheres. This book is dedicated to all that have tragically perished on 9/11. My heart also goes out to their families, who are not only grieving the loss of their loved ones but also had to initially witness on television the gruesome way they were murdered
