Publisher's Synopsis
THE FORBIDDEN OTHER chronicles three visits to Jerusalem over fifteen years. Adrianne Allison built a solid foundation for this work by thoroughly researching world religions - beginning with the Mesopotamians - and she weaves this history into the narrative of her experiences. Readers travel vicariously to the cobblestone maze of the Old City and eventually hang out with a Shaykh. They follow her on a journey that opens her eyes, tests her values, and causes her to re-think her identity as an American.
