Inspired by 'American Taliban' John Walker Lindh, this compelling novel from the award-winning author tells the story of a young girl leaving her home, family and country for radical Islam.
Compelling, unnerving and timely, Godsend is a study of what it means for a person to give themselves to their faith, and how far they will go to find a place to belong.
