When fourteen-year-old Lamya H realizes she has a crush on her teacher - her female teacher - she covers up her attraction. But one day in Quran class, she reads a passage about Maryam that changes everything. From that moment on, Lamya makes sense of her struggles and triumphs by comparing her experiences with some of the most famous stories in the Quran and begins to build a life of her own - ultimately finding that the answer to her life-long quest for safety and belonging lies in owning her identity as a queer, devout Muslim immigrant.
