Good People (2026) by Patmeena Sabit is a powerful literary novel that centers on the Sharaf family, Afghan refugees who rebuild their lives in Northern Virginia and achieve apparent success as the father becomes a prosperous businessman and their children attend elite schools.

The story takes a dramatic turn when the eldest daughter, Zorah Sharaf, dies under mysterious circumstances, initially described as a tragic accident, which thrusts the family into intense public scrutiny and debate over cultural expectations, identity, and community judgment. Through a kaleidoscope of perspectives—from neighbors and friends to journalists and investigators—Patmeena Sabit constructs a layered portrait of the Sharafs that challenges assumptions about the American dream, belonging, and the complexity of truth.

In Good People (2026), Patmeena Sabit uses an innovative oral history format to explore how gossip, prejudice, and conflicting narratives shape our understanding of others and ourselves. Because none of the Sharaf family speak directly in the book, the reader pieces together their story through the varied, often contradictory accounts of community members, revealing hidden tensions, cultural clashes, and unspoken pressures that simmer beneath the surface of success. Patmeena Sabit’s debut novel is a riveting, thought-provoking examination of family, identity, and the fragile facades we construct in modern society.
