Willow Wilson’s remarkable story of converting to Islam and falling in love with an Egyptian man in a volatile post–9\/11 world, was praised as “an eye-opening look at a misunderstood and often polarizing faith” ( \u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e ) and “a tremendously heartfelt, healing crosscultural fusion” ( \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e ).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by her experience during a college Islamic Studies course, Wilson, who was raised an atheist, decides to risk everything to convert to Islam and embark on a fated journey across continents and into an uncertain future. She settles in Cairo, where she attempts to submerge herself in a culture based on her adopted religion and where she meets Omar, a man with a mild resentment of the Western influences in his homeland. They begin a daring relationship that calls into question the very nature of family, belief, and tradition. Torn between the secular West and Muslim East, Wilson records her intensely personal struggle to forge a “third culture” that might accommodate her values without compromising them or the friends and family on both sides of the divide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove\/Atlantic, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016188969200,"sku":"9780802145338","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780802145338_p0.jpg?v=1763725056","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780802145338","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
