I first heard of Marguerite Dabaie online, then read her books The Hookah Girl and Other True Stories (Volumes 1 & 2). I shared them with my son, the way I always try to share wonderful Arab-American work with him. I just came across this fantastic interview with Dabaie in Fen Magazine, where she talks about everything from 9/11 to education to shunning politics to embracing her identity.

Already contacted her about getting her work in the AANM Library! Fen is such an awesome resource for me and collection development! Great seeing you at ALA!
