Nura Maznavi, along with Ayesha Mattu, gathered stories for their book, 'Love, InshAllah: The Secret Love Lives of American Muslim Women,' which was released on Valentine's Day to critical and popular acclaim. I asked her if the response was a surprise. "We've been amazed and thrilled," said Nura, "by the overwhelmingly positive reception to the book. We knew that the stories would touch our readers, but I don't think we expected the response that it's received across the board -- from Muslim and non-Muslim readers and the media."
