| Abstract | "It's hard enough to figure out boys, beauty, and being cool when you're young, but even harder when you're in a country where you don't understand the language, culture, or social norms. Malaka doesn't feel like she fits in when she visits her dad for her annual summer vacation abroad- she sticks out in Egypt and doesn't look anything like her fair-haired half siblings. But she adapts. She learns that Nirvana isn't as hip as pop queen Nancy Ajram, that the desert is most beautiful at dawn, and that her new stepmother, Hala, isn't so different from Malaka herself. It Won't Always Be Like This is a touching time capsule of Gharib's memories- each summer a fleeting moment in time- and a powerful reflection on identity, relationships, values, family, and what happens when it all collides." -- from back cover. |
