When Rasheed falls in love with Natalia, a Jewish woman, he is able to apply what he learned from the priest to his budding relationship. However, it is the 1940s, and relations between Arabs and Jews are tense. Before long, those tensions come to a breaking point. Natalia mysteriously disappears, and Rasheed and Rasheeda are chased out of Palestine to Beirut, Lebanon.
Years pass, and though Rasheed continues to miss his beloved Natalia, he gets word of a surprising visitor-someone he didn't even know existed. Rasheed's life is upended, but in the most wonderful way.
This small description hooked me from the very beginning. When I read this book I could not believe it, it seemed to good to be true. The book was everything I wanted it to be. I loved it from the second I opened the book to the second I closed the book. I wish I could reread this book. Everyone must read this book right now!
