It is the summer of 2011, and Nour has just lost her father to cancer. Her mother, a cartographer who creates unusual, hand-painted maps, decides to move Nour and her sisters from New York City back to Syria to be closer to their family. In order to keep her fathers spirit alive as she adjusts to her new home, Nour tells herself their favorite story--the tale of Rawiya, a young girl from the 11th century who disguises herself as a boy in order to apprentice herself to a famous mapmaker named al-Idrisi.
