Willow Wilsons remarkable story of converting to Islam and falling in love with an Egyptian man in a volatile post9\/11 world, was praised as an eye-opening look at a misunderstood and often polarizing faith (Booklist) and a tremendously heartfelt, healing crosscultural fusion (Publishers Weekly).Inspired by her experience during a college Islamic Studies course, Wilson, who was raised an atheist, decides to risk everything to convert to Islam and embark on a fated journey across continents and into an uncertain future. She settles in Cairo, where she attempts to submerge herself in a culture based on her adopted religion and where she meets Omar, a man with a mild resentment of the Western influences in his homeland. They begin a daring relationship that calls into question the very nature of family, belief, and tradition. Torn between the secular West and Muslim East, Wilson records her intensely personal struggle to forge a third culture that might accommodate her values without compromising them or the friends and family on both sides of the divide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49680992731376,"sku":"NEW0802145337","price":13.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/the-butterfly-mosque-a-young-american-womans-journey-to-love-and-islam","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
