Description from the publisher:

What do riding Roller Coasters, Sufis, Life's Challenges, a Muslim marketing executive and a bunch of Muslim women poets have in common? Perhaps a lot.

"Riding the Roller Coaster" gives a Muslim perspective on facing the challenges of life by bringing Eastern wisdom and inspiration to the west.

It consists of inspirational anecdotes, wisdom and practical ideas that can help one overcome the ups and downs of life. The benefits that one derives in life by practicing the virtues of patience, prayer, purpose, proactive planning and passionate persistence are vividly presented by the author. This heartwarming compilation is interspersed with poems for each chapter by American Muslim women.
