Unveiled: How an American Woman Found Her Way Through Politics, Love, and Obedience in the Middle East Book

I could not put this book down. It is about an American woman who marries a charming but controlling high powered Middle East diplomat she meets at the UN. He eventually becomes Arafat's senior advisor and she lives behind the scenes in very interesting political circles. There are intimate stories of world leaders that would be hard to find anywhere else, She eventiually divorces and her father who is as grandiose and narcissistic as her husband goes on trial for a white collar crime and she loses everything. But she begins to emerge from the control of these powerful men and her journey is beautifully honest and inspirirng. She contacts the wives of Arab leaders she had known during her marriage thought were very courageous. She travels to the Middle East to record their stories and learn more about them. They reveal their lives to her,I won't tell you what happens while she is there but she faces her challanges with grace and strength and she learns about her her own power through the visits she has with these First Ladies and Queens. Wonder story,
