What happens when vastly different cultures come face to
face? How does love for others overcome these differences? How might self-love
and personal choice triumph in one’s life, leading to peace and contentment?
These questions are deeply explored in Sunni Boehme’s “Diary of a Turkish
Wedding.” Through Sunni’s eyes we see how we, too, might navigate these
questions. I found myself wondering if I would have the same courage,
compassion, patience, and ultimately, the resolve to live my own dreams.
Set both in Milwaukee
and rural Turkish villages, Sunni’s journey takes her into her own heart,
always asking the questions “How can I be loving. How can I be giving. How can
I be kind?” We see Sunni completely out
of her usual element as she lives with her Turkish family, and watch her
transformation unfold in perfect divine timing. Her final question is “How can
I be my authentic self?” The story is wonderfully told in Sunni’s own loving
way. Take the trip with her, sit with the questions, and see how you, too, might
transform your life.
