Con solo diez años Liza Barton disparó y mató a su madre al intentar protegerla de la violencia de su padrastro. Aunque fue declarada inocente, mucha gente la consideró culpable de asesinato. Veinticuatro años más tarde Liza ha cambiado de nombre y de vida. Ahora se llama Celia, es una diseñadora de éxito en Manhattan, está felizmente casada, tiene un hijo pequeño y nadie conoce su verdadera historia. Pero un día su marido le hace un regalo sorpresa y su pasado irrumpe tumultuosamente: le ha comprado la misma casa en el campo donde murió su madre. Peor aún: Celia se da cuenta que alguien muy cercano conoce su verdadera identidad. De ese modo, la pesadilla de su infancia reaparece y esta vez ella va a ser acusada de más de un asesinato.

‘Where you staying?’ the Bedouin asked. ‘Why you not stay with me tonight—in my cave.’ He seemed enthusiastic. And we were looking for adventure." Thus begins the story of how Marguerite van Geldermalsen—a New Zealand-born nurse—became the wife of Mohammad Abdallah Othman, a Bedouin souvenir-seller of the Manaja tribe, and lived with him and their children in a community of 100 families in the ancient caves of Petra in Jordan. Marguerite and a friend were traveling through the Middle East in 1978 when she met the charismatic Mohammad and decided that he was the man for her. Their home was a lofty 2,000 year-old cave carved into the red rock of a hillside. She became the resident nurse and learned to live like the Bedouin—cooking over fires, hauling water on donkeys, and drinking sweet black tea—and over the years she became as much of a curiosity as the cave-dwellers to tourists. This is her extraordinary story.
