My Mother’s Voice in the Dark: Arabic

"Don't speak casually to strangers, and don't take anything from them," the mother repeated over and over to her children, protecting them from the subtle signs of the outside world. But how easily can an innocent child forget such warnings when a stranger smiles at him and covers his piece of candy and refreshing fruit juice? In a single moment of inattention, he abandons safety, and a primal warning transforms into a terrifying nightmare. Within walls of darkness and fear, all that remains is the echo of his mother's voice reverberating in his mind, while she continues to shine, watching a race against time, three times her own soul. Did the police enjoy unraveling the threads of this mysterious abduction before it was too late? And will the little boy survive to learn the harshest lesson of his life? A moving and suspenseful novel that poses the most important question for every family: What happens when we ignore the voices of those we love?
