The Terrorist's Son, by Zak Ebrahim, is a novel
about a boy who is woken in the middle of the night by his mother to be rushed
out of the house. Later he learns that his father was part of a terrorist act and that he had shot the founder of the Jewish Defense League. Coming from an Arab
family, his mother and uncle are afraid of what happens next, even if they had
no idea his father had a plan from the beginning. As a reader you get a full
look at the struggle the family had to go through and the sacrifices they have
to make.
This book was based off of a Ted Talk, which I love to
watch. It was informal but also explains to you the different struggles
the family had to deal with. I would recommend this to someone who
reads/watches documentaries, or even someone who wanted a quick read. It was a
very interesting book! -K.L
