Speechless

Speechless is a powerful and deeply human story, published in 2021, of immigration, motherhood, and faith. Set between Algiers and the United States, the book follows Safia’s life-altering journey after a single visa lottery application reshapes her family’s future. What begins as a leap of hope unfolds into a complex navigation of cultural displacement, sacrifice, and survival. As Safia works to preserve her heritage while building a new life in an unfamiliar country, she is also faced with the challenges of advocating for her youngest son following his autism diagnosis, learning to navigate systems, language, and expectations not built for families like hers. Grounded in faith and resilience, Speechless honors the quiet strength of immigrant mothers and the unseen labor of love that holds families together. It is a testament to courage, devotion, and the enduring power of home, wherever it is found.
