Zahra was fresh from a surprising and devastating divorce from husband Mohammed. Appropriately enough, the tone is a mixture of outrage, sadness, and defiance. Zahra was outraged at a nation and culture that could so thoroughly harm its women, emotionally, financially, and otherwise. Zahra vacillated between this outrage and despair. She didn't know what to do or where to turn; such was the plight of the divorced Moroccan woman. To compound her situation, Zahra had no living parents or grandparents to rely upon, and she was estranged from her sister whom she disliked.
