Selfless

Jamila Nassar's life circumstances equated her father's behavior to that of the dogmatic and legalistic Allah he believed in. Mistreated by beatings and Islamic edicts, she rose to develop into the woman her mother had always intended. As a BBC reporter, she discovers a soulmate in Bobby Harris, a Christian Marine, on the battlefield of Iraq. Little did she know that raising their child alone would not only bring consequences but rewards she couldn't foresee. By raising a child, rediscovering family, and reporting some of the biggest news headlines of her time, she realizes what it truly means to be selfless.
