I received this book for free from Member's Giveaway. I lasted to page 78 when I couldn't take it anymore. I really cannot read a memoir about someone who is truly self centered and cares too much about material things.

What an amazingly honest and well written story about a cross-cultural relationship and marriage. I really enjoyed hearing about the author’s experiences being married to a Muslim man. It gave me a very different insight about an average Muslim and their faith in contrast to what we hear about in the media. I gained such a respect for this married couple as they stayed committed to each other despite their ongoing struggles with their cultural differences. It was enlightening and touching to hear about how they learned to accept some of those differences and yet remained loyal to their own personal culture, faith, beliefs, and traditions. Definitely not easy and the author is very candid about her feelings and frustrations. I ended up enjoying this book a lot more than I anticipated and would recommend it to anyone that wants to open their mind and learn about cultures that are different from our own.

This is a well written memoir about an American Christian woman who marries a Libyan Muslim man.
Krista gives details about how cultural differences can complicate a marriage. She also shows how those differences can enhance the relationship.
Having experienced something similar myself, I can relate.
