BECOMING BABA: A MEMOIR FATHERHOOD, FAITH AND FINDING MEANING IN AMERICA written and read by Aymann Ismail

Aymann Ismail, Slate journalist and podcaster, reads his memoir BECOMING BABA giving it the genuineness with which he wrote it. Growing up as the youngest son of immigrants, Ismail struggled with his identity and traditions as a Muslim and an Egyptian American. Ismail reads with the kind of self-questioning that adds credibility to his journey to find an honest relationship with religion, his beloved wise wife Mira, his children and himself. Ismail reads with a conversational, candid tone accenting emotions when struggling with his devout father’s disapproval, prejudices and fears he encounters after 911, and humility and self-forgiveness as he owns up to his missteps and learns how to listen. The combination of humor and heart make for a meaningful story of growth for all listeners.You can find information about the book and audio at the Purchase link below.
