Haidah, Iranian by birth, is the epitome of the successful immigrant. She is a successful lawyer, a spokesperson for refugees and immigrants, and a well respected member of the middle class. She embodies the values of all successful cultures: civic duty, a solid marriage, thriving children, and a commitment to helping others. This is a love story about an exotic couple, but also an illustration of another sort of love: the devotion of good people for the values required in civil society.
