Maryam is the beloved daughter of Ibrahim, a high-ranking officer in the Saudi Arabian army. Ibrahim dotes on Maryam, his pride in her learning, wisdom, and independent spirit sharpened by the death of his elder son. Despite the love she shares with her family, the respect she has for her Arabian culture, and her loyalty to Islam, Maryam yearns for travel and the opportunity to continue her education in Europe. Before she can pursue her dreams, Ibrahim announces Maryam's betrothal, her hand the fulfillment of a solemn promise made before Maryam was born to a man who once saved his life. Maryam endeavors to stifle her bitter disappointment and to honor her father's wishes, but soon after she meets Ben, an American Jewish dentist. As Ben and Maryam pursue an increasingly intimate clandestine relationship they dare to dream of freedom and a life together. Soon Ben attracts the attention of the "Muttawa"--the feared Saudi religious police--and when Maryam discovers that she is pregnant, she knows that she now faces a terrifying ordeal.
