About the Book
Have you ever thought about what, exactly, is in a name? Each chapter in this book ponders that question, whether directly or indirectly. There are no easy answers. It is at best a mystery. However, if you really look into that set of words assigned to you at birth, you may find traces of biography, genealogy, history, the immigrant experience, and more. "The question is, 'What's in a name?' My answer is a synopsis of my life's story." - Karolynn Pargo Authors include Kimmy Alan, Sena Alenzi, Alaq Alhussein, Maryam Al-Malahi, Zahra Al-manssori, Ali Alnaim, Ayat Al-Tamimi, Clarisse Israel Andrus, David K.
