Synopsis

Mohamed, a Sunni Muslim, grows up in Syria under the Assad regime, never knowing from one day to the next if he will survive. Immigrating to the United States to study medicine in 1995, he embraces freedom with a passion. He finds the love of his life, builds a successful medical practice, and becomes a U.S. citizen in 2007. Along the way, he exchanges views with Christian friends about their respective beliefs concerning God, Jesus, Israel, Syria, and terrorism. When the Syrian revolution erupts in 2011, Mohamed is compelled to assist the Free Syrian Army. His medical missions into hostile territory save many lives, but not without a tragic loss. A moving novel that will challenge your opinions about the Middle East, immigration, Islam, and Christianity.
