The Amens -Pillars in Dearborn, Mohsen and Lila have four children – Suehaila, Shadia, Bilal and Samira. The family adheres to their faith with varying degrees – ranging from conservative to liberal. Suehaila is single, wears the hijab, doesn’t drink and is active in the community. She and Bilal, also unmarried, still live with their parents. Shadia – the rebel – has tattoos, piercings and does not wear a hijab. She is also a single mom to Adam, age 11. Samira Amen-Fawaz, the youngest, is struggling to conceive with her husband, Ali Fawaz. After years of unsuccessful attempts, she is considering putting on the hijab in order to be closer to God and hopefully be blessed with a child.
