Side by side
A wonderful, inspiring novel. Once I picked it up I picked it up I didn't want to put it down. A caring glimpse into the daily life of women in an Islamic country. Halimah and Mia are inspirational characters. Would I be willing to risk it all for my faith? Am I willing to stand side by side with my brothers and sisters in Christ across racial and cultural lines. Well worth the read. Carol

Well done!
Wonderful, powerful insight into another culture. The story made me laugh,cry,wish I was there and glad I'm not. It gave me a glimpse behind the veil. This book will change how I perceive and pray for others.

Yay for good books!
Why I Choose this Book: In reality I chose to review this book’s sequel, Door to Freedom, and since the two books go together, they sent Side by Side to me as well. What I Thought about this Book: As someone who has grown up surrounded by people from different cultures, I always like to dig into a book where a unknown-to-me culture is portrayed in a realistic yet respectful way. The fact that the author loves the Sudanese people came through clearly, and that was amazing. Although I’ve never been to Sudan, I have been to another African country, as well as some Muslim countries. So, even though I didn’t know a ton about the culture there, I was sucked right into the world and could imagine it rather vividly. There is so much hardship while trying to settle into a new country, and the author did a good job of showing the issues Mia, one of the duel main characters, went through. I know how difficult it can be to try and fit into another culture short-term, and I can’t even fathom how so many people do it long-term. Mia’s dedication to making connections throughout the book was something I admire in a lot of people and I was glad the author captured it in a novel. (Cause really, there’s nothing glamorous about it – yet the author made the book quite interesting.) About half of the book takes place from the perspective of a Sudanese teenage girl. Her story captured me right away. From stories I’ve heard I knew her story is all too common, which is hard for my always-known-freedom brain to wrap around. I was reminded over and over again how blessed I am to live how I do and be able to believe what I want to believe. The book wasn’t a light hearted read, but there was a very hope-filled feeling overall. The author did a great job of balancing everything so it was realistic, yet not discouraging. Conclusion: The author tackles some very hard issues making it so I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone under the age of 16 or so without their parents looking through it. I was incredibly impressed though by the way the author handled everything. Rating: I’m giving Side by Side 4 out of 5 stars, and 8 out of 10. *I received this book from Litfuse
