Godsend is the unconventional coming of age story that follows 18-year-old Californian, Aden Sawyer, as she takes her teenage rebellion to another level with a plan of studying Islam at a madrassa in Peshawar, Pakistan, disguised as a young man. John Wray explores how far Aden will take her religious dedication-and submission-as her journey for personal fulfillment takes her from Islam student to Islamist militant. The use of space on the cover of this novel expresses the way Aden can peer out of her disguise without allowing others to see what she is hiding. The black surrounding all but her eyes may also signify the side of her faith that she chooses to ignore; the practice of veiling women from the public eye. When equipped with the plot of the story, Godsend’s cover creates an impactful statement that is easily translated through the element of space.
