Description

In this candid memoir, a member of the Saudi royal family shares her extraordinary story. Born into a life of luxury and privilege, she reveals the harsh realities behind the gilded facade. With unflinching honesty, she recounts her tumultuous childhood, arranged marriage, and the struggles faced by women in her country. The author's decision to speak out about the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia came at great personal risk. She tells of forced marriages, sex slavery, and summary executions, shedding light on everyday human rights violations that are shocking even in other cultures. This is a testament to a woman of remarkable courage and resilience. By sharing her story anonymously, the author has risked bringing down the wrath of the Saudi establishment upon herself and her children. Her bravery serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of speaking truth to power.
