The main characters...
CAROLE MEYER, the philanthropic wife, daughter, and granddaughter of physicians, was raised in an affluent Long Island home. In spite of Nazi inhumanity and Russian pogroms, her grandparents achieved 'The American Dream'. When Ms. Meyer's husband died suddenly, she and her two teenage sons had to somehow adjust to a fatherless home.
MUHAMMED HASSAN was born in Jordan, on disputed land now called the West Bank. At the young age of 7, his life was uprooted when he was orphaned during an Arab-Israeli conflict. His perseverance, charisma, and intelligence prevailed and he too realized 'The America Dream'. However, dreams became nightmares when his magnificent wife Sabira died during the birth of their first daughter.
To the casual observer, this dark striking Arab and elegant Jewish woman would seem worlds apart. The casual observer would be dead wrong.
