This is a memoir, the story of a woman's wayward search for love, in which a widow, traumatized by the death of her young husband, risks her life and the lives of her sons when she ignores the wisdom of her own soul. Her troubled odyssey leads her to the Middle East, a Sharia court and ultimately, into the bed of an influential Arab. What she learns about the human condition, and the illusions we live by, will awaken that which lies dormant in most women-a sense of the untapped power and privilege of what it means to be female.

For centuries, poets, mystics and troubadours have sought an answer to the question "What is this thing called love?" Where does it spring from? What is the source of love's power to burnish the human heart, or to break it? How to find love, nurture it, sustain it? Drawing from both her personal life and her life's work, the author and her illustrator have co-created a story that, for all its apparent simplicity and whimsy, comes to a bold conclusion.
