Although the Arabic world is as diverse as any other region, customs and traditions endure. Injustices continue. And then there is Laila. Trapped in a marriage to a man she finds physically revolting, Laila begins to realize secret truths about her sexuality, about her very identity as a modern Jordanian woman. "Good" Arab women may have occasional lurid fantasies about dominating men in bed... but Laila actually finds the strength to do it. And when she dies suddenly in an encounter with a lover, the stakes for the survivors become a matter of life and death. In Laila, Fadi Zaghmout gives voice to the Arab woman to put men in her society on trial.
Thirteen-year-old Laila, still grieving over her father's death, goes on their planned pilgrimage with her aunt and uncle. When she is transported back in time to 7th century Arabia, she faces the dangers of the desert, takes on a disguise, and saves a baby's life. But will she ever return to her own time?
The book contains disturbing content NOT suitable for immature audience. I advice kids and readers who are NOT mature enough to decipher the contents of this book, to hold it, play with it, fondle it and keep it back in the rack.

In a land where culture is an obsession and lifestyles are driven by ethics, there exists a world that shadows cheap sex and inhuman rape. Explore how technology is used to edit social definitions.. Laila's journey from watching her daughters being killed, to her deepest fears of walking free. A thrilling journey through the satanic sides of life. Welcome to the bloody saga of PROSTITUTION, PORNOGRAPHY & PEDDLING.
Get up. Go to work. Report on a few news stories. Walk back home. Have dinner with grandparents. Sleep. Repeat. Laila's everyday to-do list was not exactly exciting. An ordinary girl with a bad temper and boisterous but beautiful curls, Laila led a mundane life in Lahore, Pakistan. Until she landed in Udaipur, India, the neighboring but rival nation, to pursue a feature story. Royal tales, historic festivities, and a vibrant culture that confirmed she was far away from home, Laila met many strangers on her journey. One of them was Gulab. As her visit drew to an end, it became clear that Laila's life intersected with Gulab's in tragic and irreversible ways. Secrets unveiled as she uncovered realities of the blood-soaked partition, gut-wrenching atrocities, and a past she never knew she had.
