The Beloved Enemy

Description:

Kefira Reis, a young Jewish woman, works in a sweatshop in the New York garment district. When her boss abuses her, she fights back and flees. Joshua Winslow has just been released from prison, but when he sets out to find honest work, he is attacked by tramps and badly beaten. A timely encounter with Kefira saves his life. Kefira encourages Josh to live out his dream of becoming an archaeologist, but when they finally arrive in Egypt, complications arise that threaten their budding romance--and test their beliefs.
