Dalia was a young, beautiful Arabian Muslim living with her family in Amman, Jordan. At the age of twenty-five, she unexpectedly fell in love with Michael, a major in the Royal Army, and a Catholic. For a Muslim woman, any relationship with a Catholic man is forbidden and Dalia was only too aware that flouting this rule could cost her her life. But they were deeply in love and with the help of Dali’a lifelong friend, Norma, with whom she ran a hairdressing salon, they went to extraordinary lengths to find ways to meet in secret. On only a handful of occassions were Dalia and Michael able to be alone and their relationship remained entirely chaste. Although they covered their tracks meticulously, when one of Dalia’s brothers became suspicious, she was suddenly gripped by the terrifying reality of what could happen to her.
