A poignant story of love, determination, and political intrigue: Nad of Nadide reveals that love, whether between two of the same ethnicity, or between lovers who never expected to cross ethnic boundaries, is one worth fighting for, at the cost of defying all norms and challenges. When Palestinian Fareed met Turkish Nadide, neither could imagine the course of events that their relationship would trigger. The daughter of a ruling Turkish general, Nadide’s affections are at the center of a tumultuous political landscape in the 1980s. With conflict rising between her suitor and her father, on one side, and her father’s political enemies, on the other, the two targeted her with opposite benefits, albeit each wanting her to abort her yearning to reach her goal, a goal possessed by a wish to follow her heart. Will love and determination win out over personal grudges and political interests?

Wagih Abu-Rish

Wagih Abu-Rish is a Palestinian-American author and activist. He spent much of his career as a businessman, specializing in acquisitions. During a long and varied professional career, he was a foreign journalist in Beirut, Lebanon, and an ad executive on Madison Avenue in New York.

He has been active in promoting progressive causes such as democratic practices and equal rights. Among those causes, he feels strongly about the need for the liberation of women in the Middle East, which he considers to be the most overlooked and abridged human right of all.

It is his hope that this book highlights the themes he believes in. The most salient of such themes is the fact that most adherents are ignorant of the essence of their own religions. This applies equally to the adherents of Islam and to all other religions.

His second and mostly implied theme is the difficulty people have in humanizing others, whether that means another gender, ethnicity, or nationality. Such humanization is the starting point for resolving difficulties and conflicts between competing individuals, parties, and countries.

Mr. Abu-Rish earned bachelor's and master's degrees in journalism from the University of Houston and the University of Oregon. This is his first novel.
