Publisher's Synopsis
"Mom, I have something I need to tell you.…"
They didn't talk. Not for 10 years. Not about faith anyway. Instead, a mother and daughter tiptoed with pain around the deepest gulf in their lives-the daughter's choice to leave the church, convert to Islam, and become a practicing Muslim. Undivided is a real-time story of healing and understanding with alternating chapters from each as they struggle to learn how to love each other in a whole new way.
Although this is certainly an audiobook for mothers and daughters struggling with interfaith tensions, it is equally meaningful for mothers and daughters divided by tensions in general. It is an important work for parents whose adult children have left the family's belief system and for those same children to better understand their parents. And Undivided is an up close and personal look at the life of an Islamic convert-at a time when attitudes are mixed about Muslims (and Muslim women in particular), but interest in such women is high.
Undivided is a tremendously important audiobook for our time. Will Patricia be able to fully trust in the Christ who "holds all things together?" Will Alana find new hope or new understanding as the conversation gets deeper between them? And can they answer the question that both want desperately to experience, which is "Can we make our torn family whole again?"
