520    Ayesha Shamsi has a lot going on. Her dreams of being a 
       poet have been set aside for a teaching job so she can pay
       off her debts to her wealthy uncle. She lives with her 
       boisterous Muslim family and is always being reminded that
       her flighty younger cousin, Hafsa, is close to rejecting 
       her one hundredth marriage proposal. Though Ayesha is 
       lonely, she doesn't want an arranged marriage. Then she 
       meets Khalid who is just as smart and handsome as he is 
       conservative and judgmental. She is irritatingly attracted
       to someone who looks down on her choices and dresses like 
       he belongs in the seventh century.  Ayesha is torn between
       how she feels about the straightforward Khalid and the 
       unsettling new gossip she hears about his family. Looking 
       into the rumors, she finds she has to deal with not only 
       what she discovers about Khalid, but also the truth she 
       realizes about herself.
