An unexpected encounter changes the lives of two women—both immigrants searching for purpose and a better life. Through their interwoven journey, both will question and embrace their faith.

When one is asked to be the Arabic translator for a Moroccan woman newly arrived at a Spanish safe house, she has no idea of the journey upon which she is embarking. Born into privilege, she will come face to face with the ugly, dark side of the world, the suffering so many endure. She will also discover the joy and heartbreak of loving broken women, joining forces with them, fighting back to survive and thrive.

Faith will guide their way, faltering at times, returning stronger.

Journey along with them in this sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes soaring memoir of discovery, disappointment, and redemption.

Partial proceeds of the book will go to Habiba and the safe house work in Spain.
