Mohira's dream of leaving Central Asia for the magic of America finally comes true when she meets a man in the Peace Corps who sweeps her off her feet. But the dream doesn't live up to the reality and, when she finds divorce papers on her pillow, her world falls apart. Now she struggles to find a sense of belonging, as a foreign woman in America with no friends or family around. She's not even sure her family will accept her if she gives up and returns to them, considering their traditional Muslim beliefs about divorce. In the midst of her journey of discovering who she is and reevaluating her dreams against the harshness of reality, ethnic violence breaks out against her people back home. Mohira's attempt to find herself and overcome the tragedies in her life threaten to leave her hopeless and lost. Will she find purpose in this tragic world?
