Two books on being a young Muslim woman

One is "Defiant Dreams" and the other "Love in a Headscarf".   I enjoyed the first one more.  I would have a difficult time with the ritual of formalized courting, family from the male and the female getting together at a prearranged time, with the couple glancing at each other but not showing too much interest.


Defiant Dreams tells about a highly intelligent Afghan girl in a culture that frowns heavily on girls being educated.  She did, though.
