A story about love, marriage, compromise, parenthood and the difference between the life one imagined and reality.*

Fifteen years ago, Krista Bremer, a California-bred feminist, surfer, and aspiring journalist, met Ismail Suayah, sincere, passionate, kind, yet from a very different world. One of eight siblings born in an impoverished fishing village in Libya, Ismail was raised a Muslim--and his faith informed his life. When Krista and Ismail made the decision to become a family, she embarked on a journey she never could have imagined, an accidental jihad: a quest for spiritual and intellectual growth that would open her mind and, more important, her heart.

A bold piece of writing (and thinking) by an incredibly brave woman. --Elizabeth Gilbert, author of The Signature of All Things
