Written by a Muslim convert and mother of three, Welcome to Islam
captures the occasionally poignant but often humorous reality of being
a Muslim in the current climate: as a convert, a working woman, a
mother, and as an active member of the local community.

Discover
what it's really like living life as a Muslim: praying the ritual
prayers at work in an office when your boss walks in; going on Hajj
with hundreds of Saudi women dressed from head to toe in black; or
explaining to your six-year-old daughter, who is looking at the
pictures in the newspaper, that the bearded Asian Muslim who is being
arrested for terrorism isn't in fact the family friend we all know and
love - just someone who looks extremely similar.

It is rare to
pick up a newspaper or watch the television without encountering a
'Muslim issue' at least once. Lucy Bushill-Matthews' story brings the
faith behind the headlines refreshingly to life.
