Once Upon an Eid (PDF) (Print)

Now in paperback, a joyous short story collection by and about Muslims, edited by New York Times bestselling authors Aisha Saeed and S. K. Ali
 
Eid! The short, single syllable word conjures up a variety of feelings and memories for Muslims. Maybe itÕs waking up to the sound of frying samosas or the comfort of bean pie, maybe itÕs the pleasure of putting on a new outfit for Eid prayers, or maybe itÕs the gift giving and the holiday parties, or carnival rides to come that day. Whatever it may be, for those who cherish this day of celebration, the emotional responses may be summed up in another short and sweet word: joy.
