While trying to help her financially destitute family,
twelve-year-old Leyla ends up on a slave ship bound for Istanbul,
then in the beautiful Topkapi Palace, where she discovers that life
in the sheltered world of the palace harem follows its own rigid
rules and rhythms and offers her unexpected opportunities during
Turkey's brief Tulip Period of the early 1700's.
