About the author
Ream Shukairy is a Syrian American raised full‐time in Orange County, California, and part‐time during summers in Syria. She feels at home where her family is and wherever there’s a beach. She has a talent for learning languages and is always on the search for the next place she can travel and flex her words. As the daughter of immigrants, there isn’t a stereotype she won’t try her hardest to defy. She currently resides in Boston for graduate school. The Next New Syrian Girl is her debut novel.
