This part of the book talks more about Kathy. She tries to convince Zeitoun to escape to Baton Rouge instead of Destin, Florida, but Zeituon is still not worried and remains to stay. They all wave goodbye and she leaves. However, she happened to take the wrong exit to Baton Rogue and is stuck in traffic. They thought that they would make it by 7, but make it at 11. During this part of the book, it goes into more detail about the relationship between Yuko and Kathy. Kathy would always run away to Yuko's house as a child. They were always inseparable from the day they met and even in college they worked together. Yuko was opening herself up to Islam and introduced Kathy to it as well. Kathy was dissapointed in her church as the pasturer would get angry and put Kathy on the spot when she told him that she was thinking about converting to Islam as it was some crime.The main reason why Kathy converted is because the Quran talked about all the religions and showed how the other messengers influenced each faith.
I was really intrigued by this part of the book because I am Muslim. I know the beauty of the religion and how it has influenced me in my every day life. Also, it is interesting how Kathy and Yuko were able to find the beauty of the religion when they each grew up as Christians in a Christian school.
