Description
| Summary: | When Tahmeena stumbles onto John's isolated farm, he has no choice but to take her in. An illegal refugee, she's been badly beaten and speaks no English. While John's not inclined to welcome visitors, not since the suspicious death of his wife, he's even less inclined to involve the police. So he goes about his business as he waits for her to heal so he can send her on her way. And so a reluctant voyage of mutual discovery begins as these two strangers begin to communicate and connect through signs, pictures and a gradual understanding of each other's language. Tahmeena brings the homestead back to life, reopening John's eyes to the beauty of his land. In return, John does his best to track down the daughter she sent ahead from war-ravaged Afghanistan. But they can't stay hidden away on the farm forever. They won't be truly free until they venture out. And when they do, the men who think they own Tahmeena will come looking for her, and they won't leave without her.
