Daughters of Another Path: Experiences of American Women Choosing Islam

Carol Anway gathers the personal accounts of American women who chose to become Muslim. Each woman describes what drew her to Islam, how she reached her decision, and what the change has meant for her relationships, her daily life and her sense of herself. Together the stories show the varied routes that led these women to faith, and the ways they have lived that commitment in a country where most of their neighbors do not share it.
