FIRST | UMMI

Jihad is not who people think she is.

Tucked behind her usually downcast eyes and beneath her overly ironed jilbabs are secrets. Dark, obscene ones she believes will whittle to dust, if leaked, every relationship she's carefully built and the respect she's managed to garner over the years.

But secrets are like truths; they cannot stay hidden.And when Jihad is faced with exposure on a scale she never imagined, she's given a choice: save face or save a friend?

Either option comes with a damning price tag.
