Layla struggles with conflicting identities as a dutiful Muslim daughter, an Indian woman, and an independent American. At nineteen, her parents announce an arranged marriage for her, forcing her to confront these tensions.
A traumatic birth leads to a life-altering neurological disorder for Samina Ali, who must navigate the challenges of reconstructing her identity after sustaining a major brain injury. As she awakens from a coma, she faces the disorienting reality of forgetting her husband and the birth of her son. Through a long journey of rehabilitation, Ali grapples with her past as a writer and her new role as a mother, all while exploring her complex relationship with her Islamic faith. This memoir intertwines personal struggle with profound reflections on life, death, and rebirth.
