From critically acclaimed author Trish Doller comes a &;tender story that&;s both realistic and hopeful&; (Publishers Weekly), set in Cairo, Egypt, about the barriers we tear down for the people and places we love most.

Caroline Kelly is excited to be spending her summer vacation working at the local amusement park with her best friend, exploring weird Ohio with her boyfriend, and attending soccer camp with the hope she&;ll be her team&;s captain in the fall.

But when Caroline&;s mother is hired to open an eye clinic in Cairo, Egypt, Caroline&;s plans are upended. Caroline is now expected to spend her summer and her senior year in a foreign country, away from her friends, her home, and everything she&;s ever known.

With this move, Caroline predicts she&;ll spend her time navigating crowded streets, eating unfamiliar food, and having terrible bouts of homesickness. But what she finds instead is a culture that surprises her, a city that astounds her, and a charming, unpredictable boy who challenges everything she thought she knew about life, love, and privilege.

Industry Reviews

"There's a place for unsubtle messaging about white Americans learning to see humanity in the Muslim world, and Caroline--with her likable tattooed father and her mouthwatering descriptions of food--is a pleasant vehicle for the lesson." --Kirkus Reviews "Fans of romance set in far-off places will not be disappointed." --School Library Journal "A tender story that's both realistic and hopeful." --Publishers Weekly " Doller subtly builds suspense and carefully crafts romantic tension into every word shared between Caroline and Adam--no wonder they fall for each other." --Booklist
