About this audiobook
Immigration is a current hot topic, and when it’s in your family it’s hotter than an inferno. We don't get to choose who our kids fall in love with. And no one can prepare us for who they end up marrying. You Married a What?! is the amazingly, absurdly, deliciously funny journey of a mom having to accept her daughter's choice of husband, especially when they come live with her, and have a baby.
Ali is from Egypt, and as a Muslim he brings a different culture, religion and stinky food into her house, so she must dig deep into her soul to find empathy and love. Her on again, off again practice of meditation, prayer and chanting help conquer her fears and intolerance. She finally comes to accept the otherness of Ali and love him for who he is and what he believes...even if he does drive like a maniac. In the end she realizes that when we come together with love, everything changes inour lives...and as a result we change everything on the planet. Immigration is a current hot topic, and when it’s in your family it’s hotter than an inferno. We don't get to choose who our kids fall in love with. And no one can prepare us for who they end up marrying. You Married a What?! is the amazingly, absurdly, deliciously funny journey of a mom having to accept her daughter's choice of husband, especially when they come live with her, and have a baby.
