The Forbidden Wish(96)

Certain family members were vital to the creation of Zahra and her world: my sister Katharine, the real-life Habiba, who helped with Arabic translation. My husband Ben, always there to support and encourage beyond everything I could ask for. You’re my rock, my heart, my best friend. And finally, Papa. For years you asked me to write a book inspired by your homeland, and at last I can say I’ve done it! I’m so lucky to have the greatest grandfather in the world, and this book is, of course, all for you.
