Writing with unflinchingly honest prose, Rajia Hassib tells the story of one family pushed to the brink by tragedy and mental illness, trying to salvage the life they worked so hard to achieve. From living the American dream with a happy, healthy family they soon find themselves in a devastating situation that leads to the death not just their son, but of a neighbour's daughter. In the Language of Miracles paints tender portraits of a family's struggle to move on in the wake of heartbreak, to stay true to its traditions, and above all else, to find acceptance.
