Propelled by desire to escape a forced marriage and the instinct to explore the wilderness of New York City in order to seek her own salvation, twenty-year-old Farida jumps through time and space in vivid recollections of her own history the chaos of memory, an unforgiving past, a divided culture, family, sacrifice, love, faith, sexuality, immorality, and her evolution out of tacit obedience to live a life affirmed by freedom, acceptance, and love. In A Moment for Paradise, Ibrahim-Sani conjures a poignant, illuminating drama of one woman s struggle to enlighten herself in the realm of spirituality and discover herself amidst the stains of oppression."
