Opis

Hayat Shah learns that Mina, his mother's oldest friend is leaving Pakistan to live with them in America, he is thrilled, but Hayat's father is less enthusiastic. He doesn't relish the idea of Mina's fervid devotion under his roof. What no one expects is that when Mina shows Hayat the beauty of the Quran, it will transform him.
