A fictional account in which Karen draws you back in to Mia's world after her first year in Iraq. She continues the drama with the sequel from her first book 'Desert Rose' about losing love, then finding love again in a war torn country. It also shows the mentality of a minority of people who still work in Iraq, who have devious, evil, vindictive minds and will stop at nothing just to make money; most importantly the book highlights the heros who would risk their own lives to love or protect you. The book also highlights areas that still are apparent to life in Iraq that people become complacent about and should always be aware of expecting the unexpected.
