Nejla

From the back of the book

"Hamid, let's make this our tree" and Hamid looked deep into her brown eyes, which contained a universe of mystery and yet was practical and kind, and sparkled with life. "You Really want to share everything with me, don;t you?....'

A brilliant story woven into the power of love and forgiveness that is only available via Jesus. Such a small book yet so well defined characters. It could've been a bit more better if certain religious aspects of the characters based on their region could also have been on display. Nevertheless, still tugs at your heartstrings. I was exploding tears by the end. Do give it a read. God bless.

I get the message of the book, but I felt like the delivery was a little too extreme for the kind of book it is. Also, for it being published in 1984, the grammar and spelling needs to be double checked.
