Introducing my newest Urban Muslim fiction title, Tried & Tested
!
!
A teenage Iman Johnson left home over a decade ago to follow behind a street loving hustler who promised her the world. When that world became too much for her to endure, mentally and physically, she found herself back in Pittsburgh, PA at her Muslim mother’s doorstep seeking refuge. But will the Muslim family and community that she’d turned her back on years ago be ready to finally accept her or has too much time, emotions, hurt, and secrets built up between them to overcome? Iman will have to find the strength to face her past and relearn the basics if she ever hopes to find the sweetness of faith Allah promises …
Tried & Tested
is adult Urban Muslim Fiction. The book is suitable Muslims in puberty and older due to it mature subject matters: domestic abuse, mental health issues, incarceration, family discord, addiction, and family discord. These issues are prevalent in the Muslim community - around the world, but especially within Western Muslim communities. Islam is not for perfect people and I felt a necessity to pen a story about what happens when imperfect Muslims, like all of us, slip, fall, and crash and how they search, stumble, and find their way back to the mercy of The Most Merciful. I hope that this story will make you laugh, cry, smile, become angry, and then renew your hope in the amazing mercy of the Most High - not matter what your race or faith (or lack thereof) is. Iman's story transcends categories and has themes that are universal.....I just want you to get the messages, see the possibilities and hope!
