Stop. "Do you see me?" I wear a headscarf, but I am not invisible. Mariam Ali is your typical 18 year old Muslim girl and is described as beautiful, intelligent and caring by others. However, she's also best described as 'lower class' barely living on a basic minimum wage with both her parents and siblings. Daniel James - 23 year old Atheist - wealthy son of Conrad James (an elite and prestigious politician) craves for more than just the finer things in life. When the two meet and the line between traditional and modern life is blurred, will their love survive through adversity or will it crash, crumble and burn? The people that Daniel thought he knew well and clearly all have buried secrets to hide which they desperately want no-one to uncover. What will happen when Daniel tries to unravel these twists and turns but he's met with a past that threatens to turn his whole world upside down? One thing is for sure; the rich, elite and prestigious hide the deepest layers of secrets and appearances are more than deceiving. Mariam suddenly finds herself tangled up in Daniel's dangerous family history. Receiving stalker letters and threatening messages leave Mariam trying to fight for her life. And more importantly, will Mariam be able to change his perception to view the beautiful religion of Islam differently? A romantic thriller like no other that will keep you turning the pages. : )
