“Love from Mecca to Medina” by S.K. Ali

“Love From Mecca to Medina” is a deeply moving tale about a Thanksgiving pilgrimage

Thanksgiving stories are pretty rare in the world of young adult literature, which is why we were delighted to discover that S.K. Ali's latest novel "Love From Mecca to Medina" takes place during a transformative Thanksgiving vacation featuring two main characters at a crossroads.

We first met Adam and Zayneb in Ali's 2019 title "Love From A to Z," which featured two teens who unexpectedly fell for each other after a chance meeting at an airport.
