“Hope Ablaze” is an electric debut—gripping, heartbreaking, often funny, and ultimately uplifting—that combines alternating prose and verse sections, and a touch of magic, to explore a Muslim teen finding her voice in a post-9/11 America. In her unforgettable exploration of poetry, society, and self, Sarah Mughal Rana not only celebrates the Islamic faith and Pakistani culture, but simultaneously confronts racism and Islamophobia with unflinching bravery.
