Coping with Polygamy: A First Wife's Jihad is a book that portrays the Islamic perspective and experience of a first wife in polygamy.  This book is written by a sister, Umm Janna, who has first hand experience in polygamy.  In this book you will find, insha’Allah, how it feels to be in polygamy as a first wife.  You will see how a wife’s life is turned upside down and changed overnight from a life that is familiar to one that is full of turmoil.  You will find, insha’Allah, that polygamy presents an enormous trial for the first wife.  You will also find, insha’Allah, that as difficult as polygamy may be, Allah, glory be to Him the Most High, may bless good to come from such a hardship.
