That's been another dream as well. Ever since reading Maryam (Prophet Issa's mother) in the Qur'an and how she'd spent a lot of her time studying and alone, I've always considered that such a beautiful life. If there was some nunnery for Muslim women, I would be tempted to join.

Me too. When I go to Chapters and see all of the books written about Muslims or set in Muslim countries, it really is aggravating to see how they generalized and made a caricature out of us. We need just representation. Also, there aren't many of novels about non-white women that isn't an urban story or a story set in a different time or country. It'd be nice to read about some relatable characters for once. I hope to be able to read some of your books in the future, inshaa Allah.
