"Find a strong man," Sarah told Zoe. "Get a man who will stand up for you, even if it means he has to fight the whole world. There is nothing more dangerous than a weak man."

It’s relatively easy to tell when a thriller will be a winner: Unassimilated wins hands down in the ‘captivate’ category with an opener that’s instantly compelling.
Resourceful, determined, and in over her head, Zoe often finds herself puzzled by Western humor and cultural norms far from her experience. What does she need from the world, at what cost, and will she get it?
American society serves as the backdrop for Zoe’s special challenges, with the microcosm of Zoe’s peculiar form of insanity, contrasting well with the macrocosm of international politics and intrigue.
A gripping read which thriller readers will find difficult to put down.

Zoe's struggle to assimilate into American culture is set against a backdrop of international espionage. Themes of identity and acceptance weave through this story of love and lies like well-placed spies.
