A year shy of
graduating from Georgetown University, Ella Wallace feels like she is losing
direction. Having carved her own path through life, rejecting her family’s
elitist influences, the last thing she wants is to waste time and prove her
parents right. A happenstance summer-long program abroad offers the perfect
opportunity to immerse herself in volunteer work, finding richness in family
and purpose she has never experienced before.
Prince Rajaa bin
Ammaar is returning home to Jordan from Georgetown University. His intent is to
spearhead a refugee program meant to bring peace to his country. Amidst threats
of civil war and revolt, Raj stands for his convictions, even when they challenge
his family and the very culture he is preordained to uphold.
A chance encounter
at a crowded party in D.C. brought Ella and Raj together for one fleeting
moment – two people never thought to meet again. But it’s not until their
diverse worlds collide in Jordan that they realize the power of their
connection. With the refugee program as their reuniting bond, they must cross
the stars and defy their clashing cultures to protect their forbidden love.
With the culturally
rich Jordanian backdrop, Cross the Stars will take you on a journey into the
geographical and cultural Middle East, the resilience of people amidst
turbulent civil unrest, the parallel unrest of two lovers’ clashing fates, and
the diversity they must challenge with every breath to keep their love alive.
