by

Christy Lefteri

Aya is the daughter of Dahab and Mustafa, the sister of Firas, and the cousin of Nuri, Afra, and Sami. Aya is a bright and caring girl who loves to play with young Sami. Her interest in agriculture prompts Mustafa to name his honey shop Aya’s Paradise, and she helps him come up with new recipes. She moves to England with her mother when the war in Syria begins to escalate.
