This first book written by a Palestinian-American author immerses us in the daily activities of a traditional Arab household in the United States. Deya, who is eighteen, is beginning to meet suitors in Brooklyn. Her grandparents force her to be married even though she doesn't want to. It's happening again: when Deya's mother, Isra, left Palestine as a teenager to marry Adam, she had no option. Despite having been brought up to think her parents perished in an automobile accident, Deya begins to doubt what she has been taught about her history after receiving a covert message from an enigmatic yet recognizable-looking lady. She starts to comprehend the complicated, dark mysteries hidden underneath her village as the story shifts between Deya and Isra's lives.
