About the Book

Sharif's book has been mistaken as something that speaks against Islam, yet she weaves a story that embraces the words of the Quran and tells the reader that she has found her path and her truth in the very religion that was used to imprison and sell her as a piece of property.

Her memoir Caged in America was born and finally composed from her experiences while living in Dearborn, Michigan in a tightly knit Muslim community.
