A stage play, The Stolen Years of the Handsome Father examines a man who looks back on his life and realizes a life-altering choice he made as a university student has not been worth the life he finds himself living today. It's about a personal dilemma to continue on as he has, believing that regret and loss are simply a part of life, or making a bold change that could end the anguish inside. The play's central theme exposes the emotional harm of holding in a secret that simply steals the years of a person's life, as well as the years of others affected by his youthful decision. This is the first stage play by Gary Nelson, author of the 2013 novel, The Prophetess of Islam.

Fatima Sadiq is a young Pakistani woman, an editor at a current affairs magazine based in Washington, D.C. She first has vivid dreams of Allah directing her to embark on a divine mission to modernize the role and status of women in her homeland. Following these dreams she is then visited three times in Pakistan and Washington-- in the flesh-- by both the Prophet Muhammad and the Angel Gabriel. They confirm to her a mission that comes directly from Allah. As she begins to carry out her mission and reveal herself to be the Prophetess of Islam, sent by Allah, she is unprepared for the violent backlash she experiences. She will learn that trying to bring change to Islam and the resistance to that change from a religious culture with thousands of years of an entrenched way of thinking behind it is not for the weak or the disbelieving.
