One Wish: A Tale of Reckoning After 9-11

Sandra reluctantly agrees to spend ten days caring for her declining sister-in-law Janine while brother Greg conducts a covert reporting assignment of national consequence. Greg wouldn't reveal his foreign destination, so trained-attorney Sandra scours for clues. She discovers that Greg has been assiduously studying Arabic. With the third anniversary imminent, Sandra correctly surmises that Greg's investigation involves the events of September 11th. By contrast, she never remotely imagines that Greg's path will connect with a cherished Egyptian student from her past, whose reappearance couldn't possibly mean what Greg's interview transcript proves. Sandra's journey that begins as an obligation transforms into a journey of family schisms, long-buried emotions, and emotional awakening.
