Kathy decides to drive to Phoenix where Yuko lives because she can't stand her family anymore. While she is driving there, she calls Zeituon and another man picks up which makes her worried sick that he has been robbed. Also, Yuko calls her on her way there and tells her not to drive anymore and that her husband will pick them up at Houston where they can fly to Phoenix. Zeituon continues to help out the community by feeding other survivors and stray dogs in New Orleans. As he is helping out others, Zeitoun sees men robbing a gas station which is what Kathy was warning him about. He watches them from a safe distance, but one of the gang members sees him, so Zeituon decides to paddle away quickly in his canoe before they can get him. He also saw army officials guarding an area and they surprisingly refused to help Zeitoun when he was asking them to help others in need. Ahmad, Zeitoun's Brother, calls and instructs Zeituon to leave the city, but he refuses and says he must help the city as it is God's Wish. There was a man that Zeitoun encountered that Zetioun asked him to help a handicapped man which the man had agreed to, but the man never helped and had broken a promise to Zeitoun which made him very angry. Zeituon starts to miss his family and children, so he goes into Nadeemah's bedroom where he encounters pictures of his brother, Ahmad. It shows his numerous adventures around the world and what he had seen during his boat expeditions. Zeituon mentions how much he liked to take pictures on his adventures and would encounter so many people just through that.
The book continues to be absolutely spontaneous. It is so adventurous and so interesting! Zeitoun is such a great guy in helping everyone in the city even though they were not close at all. This may be one of my favorite books of all time, but that depends on how the ending is.
