A.M. Soliman, a trial attorney with a civil litigation practice in Cherry Hill, is scheduled to release his second novel, The Name She Carries, on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
The release date is listed on his author website. The New Jersey-set legal drama follows a hospital discrimination lawsuit and a young lawyer, Mary Adel, who takes over the case from her father.
Soliman, a Voorhees resident, told South Jersey Media that the novel draws on issues encountered in his civil-rights practice but is not based on a particular case. That publication first profiled the local attorney’s new book.
His earlier novel, Brothers in Service, was published earlier this year. It explores a New Jersey family’s experiences in the years after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Before practicing law, Soliman worked in journalism. His website identifies him as a former columnist for The Record and the producer and director of the 2003 PBS documentary Born in the USA: Muslim Americans.
The website also describes The Name She Carries as a Kirkus Reviews “Get It” selection.
Readers can find ordering information through the book’s page. Soliman’s book-club page offers free video visits and discussion guides for both novels; groups can contact him there to arrange a visit.
