Summary:
"Adam and Zayneb. Perfectly matched. Painfully apart. Adam is in Doha, making a map of the Hijrah, a historic migration from Mecca to Medina, and worried about where his next paycheck will come from. Zayneb is in Chicago, where school and extracurricular stresses are piling on top of a terrible frenemy situation and making her miserable. Then a marvel occurs: Adam and Zayneb get the chance to spend Thanksgiving in Saudi Arabia, performing Umrah, a pilgrimage to Mecca, and visiting the City of Light, Medina. Adam is thrilled: it's the reboot he needs and an opportunity to trace the Hijrah in real life. Zayneb balks at first, but then decides a spiritual reset is calling her name too. And they can't wait to see each other--surely this is just what they both need. But the trip is nothing like what they expect, from the appearance of Adam's former love interest in their traveling group to the anxiety gripping Zayneb everywhere they go. As one wedge after another drives them apart while they make their way through the holy cities, Adam and Zayneb start to wonder: was their meeting just an oddity after all? Or can their love transcend everything else like the greatest marvels of the world?"--Container.
