Dedication

This novel is respectfully dedicated to

Sidi Goudimi Ahmed,

my incredible Berber driver/guide on the long trek

along the coasts, through the mountains, and down to the desert of Morocco,

a good man, a wonderful teacher, a patient friend, and an

outstanding ambassador for his people, his nation, and his faith.

Salaamu ’lekum, Sahbi. Shukran bezzef.

the magnificent and ancient

people of Morocco

We are all the children of Abraham….
