Once Upon an Eid: Stories of Hope and Joy by 15 Muslim Voices

Now in paperback, a joyous short story collection by and about Muslims, edited by New York Times bestselling authors Aisha Saeed and S. K. Ali

 

Eid! The short, single syllable word conjures up a variety of feelings
and memories for Muslims. Maybe it’s waking up to the sound of frying
samosas or the comfort of bean pie, maybe it’s the pleasure of putting
on a new outfit for Eid prayers, or maybe it’s the gift giving and the
holiday parties, or carnival rides to come that day. Whatever it may be,
for those who cherish this day of celebration, the emotional responses
may be summed up in another short and sweet word: joy.
