Jasim Williamson’s life crumbled and burned when his parents were killed during the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. Devastation sent him on a downhill spiral of destruction until he met Zakiyyah Ali. Though he could see no more than her eyes, he felt a sensational connection to her. Demons of his past will surface though and change the course of his life. Will his love for Zakiyyah grow or will she sit back and let it die? This love story illuminates family values, religion, and one man's journey of pain and gain.
This was my first time reading a book by Yara Kaleemah because I had never heard of her. The book started off with a very emotional event that has touched each and everyone of else in one way or another. As I was reading it, it took me back to where I was at that time when the event was happening which drew me into the story. Jasim lost, he loved and he survived, something he couldn't wrap his mind around doing in the beginning. This book shows us that if we just keep the faith everything will work out for our good. I enjoyed the story and will definitely be reading more from this author.
