Publisher's Synopsis
Noor Alzahrani is my name. I was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. As I speak, I stand convicted of murdering my brute of a husband, Ibrahim Al-Shehri. I'm at Deera Square in Riyadh, about to be executed. How did I get here ? It has to do with my life-changing romance with Omar Augustin, a handsome Haitian student I met at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. We fell in love, and from that moment on, my life would never be the same. I wanted to be Omar's wife and bear him children, never mind the fact that he's Black and not a Muslim, and I'm a Saudi Arabian Muslim woman from a reputable family. I chose duty over love, breaking Omar's heart, and returned to Saudi Arabia to marry a man I did not love. In these, my final hours, I reflect on all the wonders and horrors that I've experienced in my brief life.
