Amanda ran from an abusive marriage in Saudi Arabia with her four sons and infant daughter, Aisha. She found sanctuary at Blossom House — in the loving embrace of a community of women who understood. But always at the back of her mind was the fear that Muhammed would come for his children.

One woman's dream is the other's nightmare.
