American Heart

In her powerful YA debut, New York Times bestselling author Laura Moriarty presents a thought-provoking narrative set in a dystopian America, where Muslim-Americans face registries and detainment camps. Fifteen-year-old Sarah-Mary Williams, living in Hannibal, Missouri, initially dismisses these injustices due to her lack of personal connections to the Muslim community. However, her chance encounter with Sadaf, a Muslim fugitive seeking freedom in Canada, challenges Sarah-Mary's perceptions of safety and morality, leading her to embark on a perilous journey filled with both kindness and danger as she fights to help Sadaf escape.
