Hoda, a tattooed choir singer, Coptic Christian, and fighter against adversity, longed to have biological children, but her wish remained unfulfilled. Twenty years ago, she met little Mariam at a Coptic children’s home. Despite adoption being forbidden by law in Egypt, Hoda’s love for Mariam blossomed, as if Mariam were her own daughter.
