American Girls is a narrative about two American sisters, Lori and Sam Sally, who traveled to ISIS-controlled Syria with their children and extremist husband. The sisters, raised in a restrictive Jehovah's Witness community in Arkansas, experienced domestic abuse and falling in and out of relationships. They eventually married and settled in Indiana, where their lives diverged. Lori left her violent marriage, while Sam was drawn deeper into hers and her husband's radicalization. The sisters moved to Raqqa, Syria, where Moussa fought for ISIS, while Sam tried to protect her children from ISIS's brutality. The book explores how the subjugation and abuse experienced by women in the US contribute to the rise of patriarchal, extremist ideologies like ISIS.
