women
it is absolutely a light romance reading for women. it didn't make me bored because I got a little bit of actions. the settings are in New York and Jordan not so long after 9/11. so you can guess now, there's something about Islam involved here. however, while it is a romance novel, the story actually tells about a broken household triggered by a man's ego and the suppressing situation for Muslims in U.S. after 9/11. while the wife of the broken household lives in misery after her twin children ...more

Mosaic was just as good as her other book, Mirage. I love her writing and will definitely be checking out anything else she’s got out there.
This one focused not only on the Arab-American family in the center of things, but also on how friendships can be awesome when they are made up of people from different backgrounds. I am making it sound WAY too simple, but I don’t want to give anything away.
Another great book. Verdict: A

Great storyline about a mother who returns home only to find that her husband has taken their children to his home in the middle east. The story is told from the perspective of both parents and tells how far each of them is willing to go to protect that the children that they love.

This book was overall good. The only down fall was the ending. It left so much unanswered at the end. Which I hate. I want the ending to wrapped up in a pretty little bow with no unanswered questions. It was still a very nice read however.

This is the book I like most. Very realistic and that kind of story also happens in the real situation between cultural difference, the in-laws interference, dignity, paternal love, siblings' love.

Examines the family life of an American family with Arabian roots, in a post/911 world. The family crisis is compelling - the side stories less so. A fast read.

Loved it as well as her other one, Mirage. Fictional story with lots of drama and emotion, but based on real life in Arab countries.

The author jumps right into the action, which made this book difficult to put down.

I liked the multi-culturalism of the book. Very grabbing.
