Good People
A gripping novel about family, reputation, and the stories communities tell when tragedy strikes. When the Sharaf family’s carefully built American Dream collides with suspicion and scrutiny, everyone claims to know who they are — and almost no one agrees.
“A girl's reputation is never just hers. In it she holds the name of her whole family... For good people, name is everything.”

Invite hook
“What if the person who understood you best was only in your life for two years?”
