\ n"During a snowy Cleveland February\, newl ywed university students Muneer and Saeedah are expecting their first chil d\, and he is harboring a secret: the word \;divorce \;is whisperi ng in his ear. Soon\, their marriage will end\, and Muneer will return to Saudi Arabia\, while Saeedah remains in Cleveland with their daughter\, Ha nadi. Consumed by a growing fear of losing her daughter\, Saeedah disappea rs with the little girl\, leaving Muneer to desperately search for his dau ghter for years. The repercussions of the abduction ripple outward\, not o nly changing the lives of Hanadi and her parents\, but also their interwov en family and friends&mdash\;those who must choose sides and hide their ow n deeply guarded secrets.
\nAnd when Ha nadi comes of age\, she finds herself at the center of this conflict\, tor n between the world she grew up in and a family across the ocean. How can she exist between parents\, between countries?"
