Saints, those special people moving the world forward. Sometimes you glaze over them. Or, at least, I do. They're in your face so much, you can't see them, like how you can't see your nose. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e2. Misfits, people who don't belong. Like me--the way I don't fit into Dad's brand-new family or in the leftover one composed of Mom and my older brother, Mama's-Boy-Muhammad. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlso, there's Jeremy and me. Misfits. Because although, alliteratively speaking, Janna and Jeremy sound good together, we don't go together. Same planet, different worlds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut sometimes worlds collide and beautiful things happen, right? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e3. Monsters. Well, monsters wearing saint masks, like in Flannery O'Connor's stories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike the monster at my mosque. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePeople think he's holy, untouchable, but nobody has seen under the mask. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExcept me.","brand":"Salaam Reads \/ Simon \u0026 Schuster Books for You","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45355485003927,"sku":"9781481499248","price":1115.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781481499248.webp?v=1769291448","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/saints-and-misfits-9781481499248","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
