The Aoudes -Newlyweds expecting their first baby, Nader and Nawal are working to strike the right balance between their traditional Muslim roots and American culture. They intend to raise their son in their own way despite the cultural opinions of family and friends. They have planned a conventional childbirth at a Detroit hospital, but are also attending childbirth classes – which is not normally done in the Arab-American Muslim community. Nader prepares to speak the Muslim call to prayer in the ear of his son immediately after his birth. It’s a call to prayer and a call to a lifetime of faith and family.
