Review: This book consists of a series of papers on various topics concerning Muslim families in the United States. The book is divided into three main topic areas: values, structure, and variation in Muslim families; practical issues for families; and immigrants' life stories. The practical issues mostly center on health care in the Arab immigrant community in Dearborn, Michigan. The papers present a very interesting overview of how Arab families maintain their community values within the melting pot of the United States.
