** spoiler alert ** Dina comes home from work one day to find that her husband, Karim, has disappeared with their two youngest children to Jordan, his homeland, and doesn't intend to return. He's afraid that they will also be affected by American values, as he believes happened to the oldest son, Jordy, who is gay. Karim is a sympathetic figure for the most part, whom we can believe truly thinks he took the only path open for the good of the young twins, Suzanne and Ali. (Spoiler alert!) Dina hires a professional kidnapper and goes to Jordan but doesn't have to resort to stealing back her children as Karim has second thoughts. Suzanne is unhappy in Jordan, and when she returns to NYC with Dina, Ali runs away, causing Karim to realize that his best intentions had disastrous consequences. Great portrayals of everyone, including Karim's mother, totally disapproving of his American wife. And, of course, as usual, I love the insight into another culture, and the tidbits of information that show how American culture has crept in.
