For her entire life Rafraf, a
devout Muslim, had been told
that Americans were the
enemy. Her understanding of
the the world - of faith and
family - had been steeped in the culture of Iraq under the rule of
Saddam Hussein. Yet, in the midst of the violence, she received
lifesaving help from her former enemies.
Rafraf suddenly finds herself living with a Christian family in
the "Bible Belt" of America. Nothing had prepared her for this
new reality - the life of a college student in a culture vastly
foreign to hers, in a community as far from her expectations as
she could imagine.
Saved by Her Enemy is a riveting journey of two vastly different
people from opposite sides of the world, of faith, of experience,
and of expectations. The dramatic intersection of their lives and
their journeys since is an inspiration to anyone who has ever felt
there was more to life than the world they knew.
Rafraf's story is one of hope and faith in the face of the unknown.
