The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the dusty street as you hammer the last boards onto your new house frame. From next door, a figure in a flowing black niqab steps onto her porch, her eyes warm above the veil. She gestures toward her open door. "Alsalam ealaykum, you. Sit on the couch until I make tea for you."
