Muslim tradition dictates that women in Ghadames, Libya, lead separate lives from men, staying confined to houses and rooftops. Yet eleven-year-old Malika can’t help longing to join her father on his trade expeditions through the desert and to learn to read like her brother. One night while Malika’s father is away, an injured preacher is brought into the house. As Malika helps him recover, he teaches her to read and encourages her curiosity about the outside world.
