Resumen:

Standing Alone : "Standing Alone is the ideal introduction to contemporary Islam . . . a stirring account of her journey to Mecca on the Hajj, revealing for us what that ancient pilgrimage requires today. Her tale is made doubly illuminating by her courage in making the journey as a single mother alongside her infant son, and by the fact that in the course of her journey she rediscovers the formidable roots of Islamic feminism." - Chicago Sunday Tribune
