Product Description
A young, blonde, American girl finds herself trapped in a frightening culture clash when she meets and marries an Iranian national. Nothing in her brief life experience could have prepared her for the challenges such a marital union would throw her way. Sandra learns the hard way that the Muslim life-style is not an easy burden for a woman to bear. She and her sons suffer isolation, deprivation, and physical abuse. Sandra soon finds herself entangled in an Islamic web of intrigue that threatens to separate her from her little twin sons forever. To her horror, the United States government does nothing to protect her sons from abduction by their father, and the police refuse to get involved when Houdi attempts to murder her. She has only her wits, and an unshakable faith in Almighty God on her side. Can an American Girl Scout outwit a selfish and sadistic Muslim husband?

1.0 out of 5 stars A sure lie but very publish-able these days., February 20, 2006
By jim (USA) - See all my reviews
I had to stop reading because I felt guilty participating in this slander to other's culture. She must be supported by some nasty hate group. Everything about this seemed coming from someone who didn't know the culture at all, so I think it's pure fiction and a bad one. I know the Iranian culture well and have lived there.
Hope you enjoy the money you're making by slandering a whole culture. What goes around comes around.

1.0 out of 5 stars Typical propaganda literature, August 1, 2005
The only thing I got from wasting my precious time on the first two chapters of this book was disdain at the lengths people are going to to stain third world countries by presenting tunnel vision views of their social systems.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money, November 15, 2005
I know many women who are happily married to the Middleeastern men. This books does not do justice to those people. It is waste of time+ money.
