Autumn Allen
Barely one week into senior year of high school, Boston native Zakiyyah is making her 2012-2013 Get Free Plan.
Step one: quit high school. (PSA: There are other ways to get to college!)
Step two: live like it’s Ramadan year-round.
As she gets deeper into her Plan, she starts to wonder if there’s someone out there who would be a good companion. To everyone’s surprise, Zakiyyah decides she wants to get married. But there are some complications.
Problem one: she’s never met a guy she liked. Zakiyyah’s family (reluctantly) and friends (eagerly) agree to support the search.
Problem two: what’s the secret to choosing a good life partner?
Enter Musa, by way of mutual friends. With marriage in mind, Zakiyyah and Musa get to know each other, progressing from email to instant messaging to phone calls. Things are going well… thrillingly well… until tragedy strikes Boston. In a moment of heightened emotion and stress, Zakiyyah and Musa have their first major disagreement.
Zakiyyah can call the whole thing off. But with or without Musa, what does it mean to live on her own terms?
