520    "The first novel from Sarah Jessica Parker's new imprint, 
       SJP for Hogarth, A Place for Us is a deeply moving and 
       resonant story of love, identity and belonging   A Place 
       for Us unfolds the lives of an Indian-American Muslim 
       family, gathered together in their Californian hometown to
       celebrate the eldest daughter, Hadia's, wedding - a match 
       of love rather than tradition. It is here, on this 
       momentous day, that Amar, the youngest of the siblings, 
       reunites with his family for the first time in three 
       years. Rafiq and Layla must now contend with the choices 
       and betrayals that lead to their son's estrangement - the 
       reckoning of parents who strove to pass on their cultures 
       and traditions to their children; and of children who in 
       turn struggle to balance authenticity in themselves with 
       loyalty to the home they came from.  In a narrative that 
       spans decades and sees family life through the eyes of 
       each member, A Place For Us charts the crucial moments in 
       the family's past, from the bonds that bring them together
       to the differences that pull them apart. And as siblings 
       Hadia, Huda, and Amar attempt to carve out a life for 
       themselves, they must reconcile their present culture with
       their parent's faith, to tread a path between the old 
       world and the new, and learn how the smallest decisions 
       can lead to the deepest of betrayals.  A deeply affecting 
       and resonant story, A Place for Us is truly a book for our
       times: a moving portrait of what it means to be an 
       American family today, a novel of love, identity and 
       belonging that eloquently examines what it means to be 
       both American and Muslim -- and announces Fatima Farheen 
       Mirza as a major new literary talent.  "--|cProvided by
