In 2004, twenty-seven-year-old Stephanie Saldaña traveled to Damascus, Syria, on a Fulbright fellowship to study the role of the prophet Jesus in Islam. She was also fleeing a broken heart. It was not an ideal time to be an American in the Middle East—the United States had recently invaded Iraq, refugees were flooding into Damascus, and dark rumors swirled that Syria might be next to come under American attack. Miserable and lonely, Stephanie left Damascus to visit an ancient Christian monastery carved into the desert cliffs. In that beautiful, austere setting, she confronted her wavering faith and met Frédéric, a young French novice monk. As they set out to explore the mysteries entwining Christianity and Islam, Stephanie slowly realized that she had found God again—and that she was in love with Frédéric. But would Frédéric choose God or Stephanie?

Excellent Audiobook
- I wasn't sure whether I'd like this audiobook as much as I'd liked reading The Bread of Angels, but I am so happy that I gave it a try. I have listened to this book many times while driving, working, and trying to fall asleep. Campbell's narration is lovely: the book has many words in Arabic, as well as a few words of French, and I was unsure how these words would be handled, but Campbell's narration makes it seem as though the book is entirely in English. Her voice is equally delicate and emotional, and it matches the tone of Ms. Saldaña's memoir perfectly. Ultimately, there is nothing about this audiobook that I do not love.
