Sample Book Insights:

#1 I was 18 when I met my prince. He was a foreign student from Afghanistan who wore designer sunglasses and a silk handkerchief in the breast pocket of his well-made suit. I was curiously indifferent towards Afghanistan, and the country never came up in our conversations.

#2 I was a good Jewish woman, and as such, I was not supposed to sleep with a man before marriage. But I had to marry Abdul-Kareem, because there was no other way for me to travel with him in the Muslim world.

#3 I was a complete fool to marry Abdul-Kareem. I believed that marriage to him would grant me all the freedoms that I never experienced as a child. I was wrong. After I returned to America, I literally kissed the ground at Idlewild Airport.

#4 I married Abdul-Kareem in a civil ceremony in Poughkeepsie, New York. We had no family present. I was starin g out the window of our ship, Le Flandre, as we landed in Southampton, England. I loved being in a city without being surrounded by towering skyscrapers.
