I have enjoyed both books written by Jean Sasson, that I have read.. I enjoyed the immense detail and heartfelt writting of this author for this book!! I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in what is was like in Iraq for women and many others while Saddam Hussein was ruling..

She would leave her home and her country and never return, even if she had to stand on the street corners of Amman and beg. She stared for a moment at the three guards questioning her and wondered what they might say if they knew she had Saddam's private telephone number, but she quickly dismissed the idea of placing such a call, for the small pad where she kept his number was hidden in a secret place in her home....
