Saying Goodbye is often more than the wave of a hand, a cheery "See you tomorrow," or an As SalaamÂ’Alaykum. As the school year ends Rose is about to learn some of the many reasons for saying goodbye. The Hijab-Ez Summer Plan is wrecked and they must cope with a loss. Tragedy strikes and Rose must say a forever-kind-of-goodbye. Fahd consoles Rose, telling her, "Allah willing, you will get something better to replace what you have lost," and she learns that heÂ’s right! But, Rose has to find courage and hope in saying goodbye to Fahd and Abdul as they return to Saudi Arabia. And, just when Rose thinks nothing else could possibly happen to change her life, Grandma reveals a secret that gives saying goodbye a whole new meaning for Rose.
