This novel by the award-winning author, Charles Sobczak, tells the story of the romance and marriage between Ayse Yalcin, a Muslim, and Daniel Harris, a Christian.  The conflict is immediate and profound.

Daniel Harris is the son of Clayton Harris, a Southern Baptist minister from Macon, Georgia, while Ayse Yalcin is the daughter of a devout Islamic family from Istanbul, Turkey.  Both of their respective families disapprove of the pairing from the moment they meet while attending Oglethorpe University.

After the rebellious couple elope during Easter break in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Daniel's father disowns him.  What follows is a tale of tears, madness and ultimately, redemption.

It is a modern retelling of an age old tale - the story of Romeo and Juliet.  Set in Atlanta, Georgia and Istanbul, Turkey, this novel explores the long-standing conflict between Islam and Christianity through the eyes of two innocent young lovers.  The author began working on the book in 2000 and traveled to Istanbul in May of 2001 to get a feel for that ancient city.  He started writing the first draft on August 13th, 2001.  The relevance of this tale has increased tenfold from that portentous date.  This is a book that will be as certain to inspire as to spark heated debate.

It is a story of religious intolerance, pride and forgiveness.  It is a love story - for love is... the choice of Angels.
