The Near One: A story of Trust, Love & Believe

The wise sun embraces her innocent skin, the kind River Nile runs through her heart's wind and wonders fill her restless mind. She is young, charming and brilliant yet she doesn't know that she is born to fulfil a certain purpose in life... She doesn't know that she is destined to make a change. In Egypt Dania lives with her wealthy muslim family and grows up attending a French nun school. In this ideal world of parity and harmony, the seeds of respect and obedience are planted in her pure soul but above all the sense of responsibility, love of humanity and the peace in the unity of hearts, however, she observes shadows in reality many thought she won't recognise. While Dania lives mastering perfection, life speaks to her in contradictions and she faces a persistent question of being and of her role in existence. Dania's remarkable talents could make any dream come true but what happens when her desires don't match with the expectations of the others? Will destiny answer to her tears of hope and her smiles through pain? And after she falls, will she be able to rise again? A journey of a father and daughter's constant challenge, a confrontation with traditions and deep comprehension of beliefs, a philosophy of love and sacrifice for the sake of what truly matters regardless what it takes. While Dania's heart longs for tenderness but tastes bitter despair, destiny gifts her with a joyful caring friendship that she never forgets, and as her mind battles with the invisible faces of fear, she receives stabs of betrayal from who she thought she knew well. When fate interferes adding burdens that she can't bear, is that a warning or a sign to guide and to heal... Destiny takes Dania not just from one place to another but within the thoughts and emotions of others. To Kenya she sails into a diverse culture & different minds discovering more about the secrets of true life and of oneself. She has only one choice and there is no return, to survive or to truly live.

If I am to tell about myself, I will do it in just a few simple words; I am a daughter and a sister, I am a mother and a wife, I am a woman and above all a human. That latter one is what matters for me the most... Humanity. In my writings, between the lines and through the paragraphs, I invite readers to experience some dilemmas in life to be seen with a larger view and from diverse perspectives. It is interesting to expose a hidden reality beyond a camouflage or switch the seats to live someone else’s life with all what it may hold. In my novels some may find themselves blaming their favourite protagonist or sympathising with the villain, they may discover the good beyond the evil or the challenge that accompanies the good. When we provoke our minds to feel and stimulate our hearts to think we may start to view certain aspects totally differently. Away from sophistication and complicated philosophies we expose reality with a dose of humour, so it is pleasant and easy to comprehend even when we don’t agree on everything. After all, we all are different, we all have to be different, this is the essence of our existence... The essence of humanity.
