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). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802145338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.29h x 5.54w x 0.84d","brand":"G.
