Life is an Open Secret is one of the greatest, one of those books meant to exercise the brain. On each page, you find something that makes you think, meditate and find a new light to brighten your life more and more, and, all throughout, you catch yourself smiling the widest and brightest smile ever! I really loved it, and I know you will, too.”

Although the stories are based on Zabrina’s own Muslim faith and contain passages from the teachings [of Islam], her stories reach far beyond the borders of division between one religion and another. We learn from these ‘ups and downs’ and how our own faith, and, in this anthology, the Muslim faith, helps sustain a person through the ‘downs,’ to give one the courage to seek guidance, peace, and understanding. Life is an Open Secret captures human instances of life we all share at one time or another. I highly recommend Life is an Open Secret if you are searching for inspiration.”

These splendid and heartwarming tales are not only life affirming and faith affirming, but, through the use of many hadiths and Qur’an quotations to illuminate its stories, Life is an Open Secret also captures the beauty value of Islamic morals. Buy it, read it, read it to your children, and send it to a friend. It made me laugh and cry. Bravo!”

Her works at times left me pondering over my life, other times giggling while a few minutes later in tears, while other times just appreciating all that I have. Her writing style is like that of the older sister advising her beloved siblings. Her words are like honey, sweet and healing. If anyone is in need of inspiration, Life is an Open Secret is the book you should have.”
