Pg. 188 Quote Below

Laila remembers the day that the news had come to their home about Ahmad and Noor and how Mammy had come undone. It had scared her, but she had felt no sorrow. Now she wonders if this is her punishment for being aloof to her own mother’s suffering. She cannot react like Mammy did. Instead, “. . .she lets her mind fly on. She lets it fly on until it finds the place, the good and safe place, where the barley fields are green, where the water runs clear and the cottonweed seeds dance by the thousands in the air; where Babi is reading a book beneath an again and Tariq is napping with his hands laced across his chest, and where she can dip her feet in the stream and dream good dreams beneath the watchful gaze of gods of ancient, sun-bleached rock.”
