This is a unique novel that portrays most human characteristics: true love, devotion, pure friendship, and the ultimate sacrifice, as well as destructive greed and selfishness. It is not pure fiction, as it is based on a few historic events. It begins with the accidental meeting of two young men in a wilderness, where the well-bred son of a dirt farmer saves the life of his reckless, newly acquired friend Faris and provides him with a lesson in devotion, friendship and true faith. The injured youth introduces his benefactor to his exceedingly beautiful twin sister, Houria, the daughter of a powerful and rich Mir. In spite of the social differences, will love blossom and conquers all? A third family gets into the picture, leading to conflicts, kidnappings and killings. Will Faris, the reckless youth, mature into a man of wisdom and courage and eliminate all problems and plant the seeds of love and happiness for all?Salem, Sema`an is the author of 'Faris of Zora: The Man Who Made the Big Sacrifice', published 2007 under ISBN 9781424168859 and ISBN 1424168856.
