I read this book as a teenager/ young adult when it first released. To this day I still remember parts of this book very clearly. I loved it. It touched me deeply. I always heard the bad things my teachers would say about people from the middle east but here was a woman's account of her life. She was a real person telling about her life. Sure she lived a pampered life but I realized she was just like me and not at all as my teachers had described Muslims to me. This is a book that I would reread in an instant. Until last week I did not know it was even still on the market. I could not remember its title, only the story told. A friend told me about it. I was like Oh oh I read that as a high school senior or college freshman. This story will hopefully touch you too.
