This book is a logical follow-up to the author’s first book, LUST UNDER THE VEIL. This book shows the secular Muslim lifestyle and a young woman who lives it, until she comes in contact with people with a living faith. The author has lived among these people and understands their varied lifestyles. She tells a compelling story that is an easy read. This book is for older youth and adults, as there are sexual situations. These situations are important to the understanding of the culture and lifestyle.

MKing 5.0 out of 5 stars Even better! Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2007
I have read the first book that Um Daoud wrote and found it intriguing. The author writes in such a realistic way that I was instantly drawn into the plight of the women. It was a fascinating exploration into the lives of women in the Muslim culture. The transition from Islam was one I would not soon forget. All women should have such hope!
