Hayat Shah was captivated by Mina long before he met her: his
mother's beautiful, brilliant, and soulfully devout friend is a
family legend. When he learns that Mina is leaving Pakistan to live
with the Shahs in America, Hayat is thrilled.
Hayat's father is less enthusiastic. He left the fundamentalist
world behind with reason. What no one expects is that when Mina
shows Hayat the beauty and power of the Quran, it will utterly
transform the boy.
Mina's real magic may be that the Shah household, always
contentious and sad, becomes a happy one. But when Mina finds her
own path to happiness, the ember of jealousy in Hayat's heart is
enflamed by the community's anti-Semitism-and he acts with
catastrophic consequences for those he loves most.
