The Butterfly Mosque is Wilson’s memoir about growing up an atheist, middle-class female in America. In college she studied Islam, converted, and moved to Cairo to teach English. There she fell in love with and married Omar. She writes of how the couple builds connections through art, love, hard work and compassion yet how stereotypes and cultural and political differences hinder understanding. Together they forge a hybrid culture in a post 9/11 world. Wilson is a journalist, novelist and comic book writer.
