Additional information
by Paula Favage (Author)
Paula Favage is a beautiful, passionate woman who is trapped between two worlds--one in Afghanistan and the other in America--and torn between two men. A young nurse working in Children's Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Paula is a sensuous, intelligent, beautiful woman of strong will and unbreakable spirit who is restless and eager for adventure. She and her husband decide to join the Peace Corps and strike out for Central Asia, where she hopes to find a different life for the two of them--a renewed love for her husband and a rediscovered sense of being for herself.
What she finds instead is turmoil and upheaval as her husband abandons her for the allure of cheap drugs and a life of debauchery in a faraway land. As the countryside around her is ripped apart by guerilla warfare, her devotion to her marriage is challenged by a mysterious Afghan freedom fighter. Is he really her silent, mysterious beacon of light on a cold, foreboding night? Or is he the enemy she needs to escape at all costs to save herself and her sanity? This first book of an exotic new series is approximately 104,000 words in length, all of which build toward a remarkably unexpected, turbulent, and satisfying conclusion. Loosely based upon a true story.
