Publisher's Synopsis
Based heavily on the author's experiences during four U.S. Army tours in Iraq, this is a fictional account of a thoughtful, observant American soldier who meets a bright, irrepressible female Iraqi interpreter in the middle of the Iraq war. They fall for each other despite coming from completely different cultural and religious worlds. In America it is not clear that their romance can fully blossom. Tragedy looms as they struggle to fit in with each other, but romance triumphs in the end.
