Born and raised to be a devout fundamental Muslim, in both Iran and Syria, the author has provided a very intimate view of a tumultuous culture as it progresses through its most violent civil war to date. The beliefs of his ancestors were engrained in him from the first breath taken yet a desire persists within, to change a cruel and unforgiving belief system. As he witnesses how quickly life can change, he begins to recognize that the inflexibility of Islam can only lead to further tragedies. Though his views are unique in the culture that surrounds him, a passion arises within to make a change. He doesn't just want to change his own beliefs, but to open the eyes of others.
