Are you looking for a modern-day twist on Louisa May Alcott’s ‘Little Women’? Then read on.. Inspired by the heart-warming classic we all love, ‘More to the Story’ features four Muslim American sisters from a Modern Muslim family living in Georgia. The heroine and protagonist from Little Women, Jo, has inspired Hena Khan the author to create her star character Jameela, an aspiring journalist. Similarly to the classic, the girls’ father is temporarily separated from the family for six months due to work commitments. Jameela has been presented an opportunity by being appointed Editor of her school newspaper. How far will Jameela go to obtain fame and success? Is this success worthwhile when it might have cost her a precious friendship? This novel explores the many conflicts a teenager faces: personal ambition, friendships, aspirations, choices made in pursuing these dreams, family and sibling relationships, love, and the safety of genuine relationships to learn through one’s mistakes. Thoughts to ponder: Have you ever been in a situation where you had to choose between personal success and glory and prioritising relationships and empathy? What did you do, and how did you make a decision?
