Found in Thyme- Lilas Taha

So this is the second book in this series, Lost in Thyme by Lilas Taha - Author . The first book, Found In Thyme, was reviewed in a previous post.

This book begins as Sami Amara is barricaded inside a bathroom in a Turkey airport and it is being attacked by terrorists. He protects a mother and two children, only to be arrested by the Turkish authorities. He disappears as Petra and Robert search for clues and anything about his whereabouts. Petra returns to Texas and takes charge of the company and his niece's care, as well as the delicate psyche of his mother.

As the rest of the book unfolds, Sami "finds" his way home, Petra and Sami "find" and explore their marriage and love, Petra "finds" her strength and inner power, and even the mother finds sanity to a certain degree. Sami finds and asserts his identity as a Palestinian American and faces the haters who want to destroy his company. He is sought by a crazy ex GF who makes things complicated.

I enjoyed this conclusion to the Sami- Petra love story, and another peek into the lives of Christian Palestinian Americans.
