A Story With No Villains

Dina is the American wife of Karim, an Arab from Jordan. The couple live in New York in post 911 days. A working mother of young twins and an older boy who has just confessed to being gay, Diana is devestated when Karim takes the twins, without her knowledge until they are gone, to his family home in Jordan. His feeling is that America has corrupted his older son and he cannot allow that to happen to the twins, especially the boy. The book is an easy read and kept my attention. I titled this review "A Story With No Villains" unless one would classify the clash of cultures as such. Prepared to hate Karim, I came to understand how culture shaped his thinking,as culture shapes all our thinking. Eunice Boeve, author of Maggie Rose and Sass

Great Book

I picked this book up at Barns and Noble, and as I read the back it sounded quite interesting. I decided to purchase it. I started reading and read the first 10 chapters in one night; I wanted to read more and more.....I think that the author did a good job in telling the story.
