The tension begins on the first page as you learn that the
main character, Austia Donatelli, works ministering to newly arrived Muslims in
The United States. Austia runs a career
center locates jobs for the newly arrived and teaches English classes to Muslim
women at night, showing them Chrisitan love through her work. When one of the women asks questions about
Jesus, she shares her faith with them. After
an honor killing of a young woman that she helped escape the chains of Islam,
Austia begins to be aware that she is being tracked and watched. Zaki a man who works for Hassian, a local
radical leader shows up at odd times. Even
scared, Austia continues her work, but trouble comes from unexpected places.
As radical Islamists continue their jihad on Americans and
Jews, and they increase their demands here in America, the tension between the
groups escalates. Due to the extreme
terrorism, Muslims are seen less as individuals, and more as angry mobs. Aranna builds a great story around this
tension, giving the reader insights into the lives of those caught up in radical
power with strong characters who work against the evil onslaught. This is a great read, recommended for readers
who like suspense and romance built around a topic that is in newspaper
headlines daily.
