About This Book

The dusty wind carries whispers of forgotten dreams as Mitra and Babak tread the rough cobblestones under a deepening sky. The scent of spices and distant fires fills the air while they clutch secrets only Babak can hear—visions from the sleeping minds of strangers. Their journey to Bethlehem pulses with hope and the weight of a family's lost past, stirring feelings that reach deep into the heart.
