One night in Baghdad changes a young girl's life forever...

  Seven-year-old Marta awakes to find her mother dead and her father on the run. Falsely accused of selling US contraband to Al-Qaeda, Paul Highland takes his daughter to avoid detection by a government agent. The pair of fugitives travel from the Middle East, to Europe, Africa, and then to South America.    

Finally settling down in one place, teenage Marta searches for her own identity as they work to clear her father's name. Then Marta’s faith is tested as the past catches up with them.    

Told through the eyes of Marta as she chronicles in her journal, her life of international drama and danger. Will it help her recognize God’s purpose? Will it help her hold onto the mother she still misses so much?
