All We Have Left

In "All We Have Left," two intertwined stories unfold across time. Sixteen-year-old Jesse grapples with her older brother’s death in the September 11th attacks, which has left her family enveloped in grief and anger. Concurrently, in 2001, Alia, also 16, navigates the challenges of adolescence while proudly embracing her Muslim identity, only to find herself trapped in a Manhattan office during the tragic events of that fateful day. As their narratives converge, the novel explores themes of love, hope, and the quest for truth amidst the shadows of the past.
