After the towers fell, one brother reached for the law. The other reached for a uniform.
“A pensive, quietly devastating novel.” — The BookLife Prize
Paperback and Kindle · Available now
On September 11, 2001, Omar Bakari walked out of the World Trade Center covered in ash and came home to New Jersey. His twin sons answered the years that followed in opposite ways — Ali with the Constitution, Adam with a uniform — until something happened in Iraq that neither brother could speak of, and a family built on service went silent for eighteen years.
Now, in 2026, as the country talks itself toward another war, Omar’s grandson Elias begins asking the questions no one will answer. A novel of faith, inheritance, and the long shadow of a single September morning.
A ten-question reading group guide for Brothers in Service, with an optional closing conversation. Free for book clubs, libraries, and classrooms.
A.M. Soliman joins book clubs by video — any club, anywhere, no charge. Clubs reading either novel are welcome.
