Dear Prophet - A Woman's Story is larina's story and her reflections on imponderable existential questions, "the meaning of a woman's life and the meaning of meaning". Through the letters she writes to the founder of her religion, the Prophet Mohammed, the panorama of this Muslim woman's life and that of her young son, Hamid, is revealed. While she searches for her missing son, larina's letters and narration describe a convoluted chain of events that move from India to Germany, Lebanon and the United States, ending up in Colorado, where Hamid undergoes the transformation, which changes everything in their lives. The intrigue and terror that grip larina's and Hamid's comfortable lives intensify with each turn of a screw wielded by an invisible hand, ending in a remarkable set of events.
