YA
Fifteen-year-old Faten wants to become a nurse--one day. But her toils promise no such future. Arranged by her father to be a maid for a wealthy family in war-torn Beirut, Faten longs to return to her Lebanese village; she takes on another dream when blond Marwan captures her interest. Faten's quiet resolve is satisfying in this unusual story.
