Sikh American women do the lion’s share of organizing and executing the business of the Sikh community, and they straddle multiple lives and worlds―cross-cultural, intergenerational, occupational, and domestic―yet their experiences of faith, family, and community are virtually invisible in the North American milieu and have yet to be understood, documented, or shared. Until now. In
Her Name Is Kaur Sikh American Women Write About Love, Courage, and Faith, Sikh American women explore the concept of love from many angles, offering rich, critical insight into the lives of Sikh women in America. Through a chorus of multi-generational voices―in essays ranging in tone from dramatic to humorous―they share stories of growing into and experiencing self-love, spiritual love, love within family, romantic love, the love they nurture for humanity and the world through their professional work, and more. Eye-opening and multifaceted, this collection of stories encourages its readers to take the feeling of love and turn it into action―practical action that will make the world a better place to be for everyone, regardless of their faith or creed.

Her Name Is Kaur Sikh American Women Write about Love Courage and Faith Meeta Kaur Books Reviews
- Just finished reading this amazing book a few days ago from Sikh Love Stories Project. I read this book because I wanted to learn more about Sikhism. I feel the best way to learn about something is through experiences, and that's exactly what this book is. Her Name Is Kaur is a collection of twenty five stories of bravery and strength from American Sikh Women. This book causes you to feel such a wide range of emotions that go up and down and back up, as each writer shares some of the pain and joy they have experienced in their journey. Love, heartbreak, losing parents, losing children, finding your career, balancing career and family life, going against parents and cultural norms, finding strength, finding yourself, and finding Waheguru (God), are just some of the stories these brave women share with us. I believe this book is a must read for everyone. I believe women readers will find a lot of strength and support in these pages. It will help you find your way if you feel lost. This is also a great read for men, brothers, boyfriends, husbands, and fathers. Once you see the beautiful heart of these women, it will change how you view and treat all women forever. Sat Sri Akal. 🇮🇳 🇵🇰 🇺🇸 P.S. I absolutely love the artwork on the cover!
- Having been a part of Sikh Love Stories, creating this novel has been a thrilling ride. As a Sikh, love is a driving force in my life, whether it is between myself, God or for another. Writing about love and it's bliss is extremely rewarding; having read the entire book now, it is without a doubt that these women have surpassed courageous. The stories are y full of love, inspiration and courage but also reach to the reader at a very personal level. I felt as if I could relate to each and every story with great compassion.
This book is only the beginning of the opening conversation not only for Kaurs, but the Sikh community on a whole and their relationship with LOVE! - One of my favorite books! It's one of the books that changed my life and brought me closer to Sikhi. I highly recommend this book to every Sikh American. It will give you self-confidence and change your perspective on life. As a 22 year old, I can't wait to share this book with my children when I become a mother later in life.
- It's wonderful to hear from these women and their poignant experiences in both life and love, especially coming from a culture that the West knows little of, or at best has misunderstood. BRAVO to these brave women who speak to the hearts and heartaches of all women!
- Love this book and must read! Fast shipping, thank you!
- Beautiful book that captures so many emotions. Shows the “other†side of the story, that normally is forgotten in our society.
- Beautifully done.
- An excellent collection of writings. Was pleasantly surprised. As a Sikh women born in Singapore, I could relate to a lot of the experiences of these women.
