When you are first introduced to Maryam and her daughter Sara, you really don't understand the deep ripples that will emanate from an accident with terrible consequences. Maryam has wounds that she has carried her whole life and only one thing will cure them - Sara has no idea that her Iranian-born mother bears deep scars and sees only the impact that her behavior has on her, her unborn baby and her father.

The book is a touching view of the meaning of family and the implications of our parents actions on our lives and the lives of our children.
