A touching story of two sisters coping in America, which must be a faar different place than their native Iraq. I wish the writer knew more about their family. There is alwys tension between the old and the new in immigrant families, but none of that was touched upon here. As for the author's claim that the sisters sufferred increased hostility from strangers begining in 2016, I believe that was the time of Trump's election, all I can say is, really? Homeless veterans never snarled at women in hijabs before November, 2016? Oddly enough, homeless veterans have never been known to be particularly gracious or polite. In fact, their reputation is quite the opposite. But whatever.
