"Noor wants to marry you." My father told me, giving me this straight, serious look across his face. 
"...what..." I ask, dumbfounded. 
What he said hit me hard. Noor? Wanting to marry me? How? Why? When? All Noor had ever done was glare at me with his Arabian eyes, I'd never think he'd want to marry me.
...
17-year-old Alima lived her life in America for as long as she can remember. After her and her family converted, she decided to settle in a University in Saudi Arabia, that way she can become closer to her religion. She knew the struggle of putting herself in a culture she wasn't used to, all while being an African American Muslimah, such as herself. She was always mentally clumsy, and hard to understand.

Alima just wanted to finish her major in college in Saudi without any distractions, delays, or stress.

But being American, Alima was assigned an Arabic tutor, who she thought would be a woman, actually turned out to be a male Arab soldier, Noor Farouq - and he wasn't at all what Alima anticipated for.
Ever since then, her life became what she never expected.All Rights Reserved
