May in the Summer (2013)
High off the success of her first book and planning to marry Ziad, her sensible, stable and studious fiance, May Brennan has it all. At least that's what she'd like people to believe. Reunited with her family in Amman, she's thrust back into the chaos of her former existence. Her headstrong mother Nadine, a born-again Christian, disapproves of her Muslim fiance so much that she plans to boycott the wedding; her younger sisters Dalia and Yasmine behave like her children, and her estranged father Edward is suddenly and suspiciously interested in making amends. As her wedding day looms, May finds her carefully structured life spin further and further out of her control.
