What would tempt a young woman to run off to a country she knew
almost nothing about? I was that young woman. Fleeing a bitter
divorce and my safe, but mundane, life I accepted a job in Saudi
Arabia, a country that by all reports was the most austere on
earth. I ran headlong into an unexpected adventure that would
change my life forever. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - mysterious,
beautiful and dangerous. A land of stunning desert landscapes where
modern ways co-exist uneasily with ancient traditions. An enigma of
a place where the state executioner is revered, where beautiful
women shroud themselves in black, and ferocious desert sandstorms
turn high noon into darkest night. Somewhere along the way I fell
in love with the Middle East and its people, their proud history,
and their gracious hospitality. This is my story.
