About this ebook
'Syria, Isis, radicalisation, parental love & the zeitgeist wrapped up in a poetic page-turner of epic proportions' - James O'Brien, author of How to Be Right
What would you do if your daughter fled towards danger? Morgan Jones' The Good Sister shows just how far one father will go to rescue a daughter who doesn't want to be saved.
One quiet morning, with her father still asleep, seventeen-year old Sofia Mounir, disillusioned with her life in London, boards a flight to Turkey.
By the time the police know she’s missing, Sofia is already in Syria, ready to fight for the only cause she still believes in.
Her devastated father knows he must save her and will go to the end of the earth to bring her back.
But how do you rescue a daughter who doesn’t want to be saved?

This is the story of a 17 year old Muslim girl from London who goes to Syria to join ISIS and her Christian father's attempt to rescue her. It is a raw insight into the horrors of war in Syria ad a gripping read. Initially Sofia sees the new caliphate as the greatest goal of her faith. She accepts that marrying a battle-hardened Islamic State fighter is part of her religious duty, But she finds herself confined to a house with a bunch of the other jihadi brides from various countrie. This is a fasinating insight into the character of a naive young womanfrom London realising that the caliphate is a place of betrayal and misogyny
