FORBIDDEN is the Young Adult version of The Red Tent, a story of peer pressure and cults set against the ancient art of belly dance, in which Jayden’s faith helps her stay alive, even as the world around her falls apart. A sweepingly epic and sensuous novel, full of dangerous romance about the ancient Goddess temple of Ashtoreth and the allure of the sexual rites that tempt the women of the desert.
