Indigo Sorenson has spent her life living with questions no one could answer.

Adopted as an infant and raised in rural Minnesota, she grew up surrounded by love but never fully certain where she belonged. Now pursuing a PhD in Psychology, Indigo has dedicated her research to understanding adult adoptees like herself, hoping that studying others might finally help her understand her own story.

Her search for answers takes her to Egypt, where history lives in every street and the unfamiliar feels strangely like home. Indigo arrives expecting little more than research and academic discovery. Instead, she finds something far more personal. A growing sense of belonging she never knew she was missing.

Then she meets Zayn Ali, a captivating literature professor who sees her not as a case study but as a woman still discovering her own story. As he guides her through Cairo and its centuries of poetry and history, Zayn awakens something Indigo has spent years guarding. Her heart.

Indigo came to Egypt looking for the truth about her past. What she discovers may change everything she thought she knew about family, identity, and herself.
