It's 2003. It's been several months since the US officially
declared war on Iraq, and the political world has evolved. Shadi,
who wears hijab (a visible allegiance to Islam) keeps her head
down. Hate crimes are spiking. Undercover FBI agents are
infiltrating mosques and interrogating members of the congregation,
and the local Muslim community is beginning to fracture. Shadi
hears the fights after services, the arguments between families
about what it means to be Muslim, about what they should be doing
and saying as a community but she does not engage. She's too busy
drowning in her own troubles to find the time to deal with bigots.
Shadi is named for joy, but she's haunted by sorrow. Her brother is
dead, her father is dying, her mother is falling apart, and her
best friend has mysteriously dropped out of her life. And then, of
course, there's the small matter of her heart It's broken. Shadi
has tried to navigate the remains of her quickly-shattering world
by soldiering through, saying nothing, until finally, one day,
everything changes. She explodes.
