Maya has always believed in God.
She just didn’t know she was allowed to ask questions.
At fifteen, Maya’s faith begins to shift quietly, late at night, in whispered prayers, and in a growing sense of peace she can’t explain. When she chooses Islam, her decision is met with fear, misunderstanding, and the pain of being seen as someone she’s not.
As tensions rise at home, Maya must learn how to stand firm without becoming hardened, how to love without shrinking, and how to honor both her faith and her family.
Between Amen and Ameen is a powerful coming-of-age story about identity, courage, and the quiet strength it takes to choose honesty, even when the world is watching.
