She's a Jew. He's an Arab. They're not supposed to be together...
Catherine DiMarco struggles to find common ground with her selfish mother. But her annual trip to visit her in Egypt throws an unexpected curveball when she meets the handsome Abdul. She knows a romance with an Arab could spell trouble from both of their hot-tempered families.
Abdul al-Shadid is a normal twelve-year-old boy with little interest in girls. But all that changes when a mysterious curly-haired beauty catches his eye. Suddenly, nothing else matters.
The fairytale beginning fades away to a decade of desperation and longing to be together. When reality hits, they are left with difficult decisions as they determine how important their respective religions are and whether or not their cultures can mesh.
Can an enduring yet taboo love conquer all?
