Honor lost
Book Description
In the ancient city of Amman, Jordan, a young Muslim woman named Dalia faces an impossible choice between love and survival. At twenty-five, she finds herself drawn to Michael, a Catholic major in the Royal Army, igniting a forbidden romance that challenges everything she has been taught about faith, family, and tradition.
With the support of her devoted friend Norma, who shares her days working alongside her in their hair salon, Dalia navigates the dangerous terrain of a relationship that defies religious and cultural boundaries. Their love story unfolds in stolen moments and secret meetings, where even the most innocent connection carries the weight of life-threatening consequences.
As suspicion grows within Dalia's family, the young woman confronts the harsh reality that her choices may endanger not only herself but everyone she holds dear. The story illuminates the profound tensions between personal desire and religious duty, exploring how individuals navigate the complex intersection of faith, family loyalty, and authentic love.
This compelling narrative offers readers insight into the challenges faced by women caught between traditional expectations and personal truth. Through Dalia's journey, the book examines themes of courage, friendship, and the price of following one's heart in a world where such choices can have devastating consequences.
Honor Lost presents a window into the struggles of those who must choose between conformity and authenticity in their spiritual and personal lives.
