LoveFifteen years ago, Krista Bremer was a surfer and an aspiring
journalist who dreamed of a comfortable American life of adventure,
romance, and opportunity. Then, on a running trail in North
Carolina, she met Ismail, sincere, passionate, kind, yet from a
very different world. Raised a Muslim--one of eight siblings born
in an impoverished fishing village in Libya--his faith informed his
life. When she and Ismail made the decision to become a family,

lyrical memoir . . . A sweet and rewarding journey of a book.
