This book is about a woman who goes to the Middle East to run a program that aims to de-radicalize women who were in Isis to return them to their countries of origin. The novel is a story of the work she tries to do, the people she meets, and all kinds of ethical gray areas. Little bits of thriller and romance energy here and there as well. Loved it. The author used to do very similar work, which adds a note of realness to the whole thing.
