Meet the Author: Ranya Tabari Idliby

For many Americans, the words ‘American’ and ‘Muslim’ simply do not marry well; for many the combination is an anathema, a contradiction in values, loyalties and identities.

In the moving memoir Burqas, Baseball, and Apple Pie: Being Muslim in America, Idliby discusses not only coming to terms with what it means to be Muslim today, but how to raise and teach her children about their heritage and religious legacy.

Idilby shares the story of one American Muslim family—the  story of how, through their lives, their schools, their friends and their neighbors, they end up living the challenges, myths, fears, hopes and dreams of all Americans. They are challenged by both Muslims who speak for them and by Americans who reject them.

The release party will include a reading, audience Q-and-A and book signing.
