Call Me Ruth by Marilyn Sachs

A Dream Denied, a Promise Kept will appeal to women of all ages because it gives pointers on how to travel alone. How to be accepted as an equal of men around the world. It tells of the wonderful love stories that are unforgettable and exciting as the author travels the globe. It is adventure at its most exciting and daring and takes place at a time when very few women traveled alone.

It shows women's forays into unknown and uncharted territory and has a dynamic all its own as the stories unfold with compassion and humor. It will take the reader to a harem in Yemen, The Steppes of Mongolia, to visit a Bedouin camp, walk the oldest street in the world, visit the bazaars and cities of medinas and villages. Stay at five star hotels with the amenities and accoutrements of the glorious 20th Century; then sleep in pup tents and lodges. Experience the migrations of millions of animals, cross the Great Rift Valley, ride camels in the Gobi Desert and elephants in Nepal as you search for white tigers. Climb to the top of Tibet's Potala Palace, join the Maharaja and Maharani at their palace. Climb the Kyber Pass into Afghanistan. Break bread with the mighty and those less fortunate. Taste the cuisines of over 210 countries. Fly into Saudi Arabia and be swept away by the glory of the desert. Learn how to pack for a trip and how to escape jet lag.

A Dream Denied, a Promise Kept shows women as they are.in settings that display their greatest accomplishments and most courageous hearts. Traits and experiences that can rival of any man.

Marilyn Sachs, author of Lost in America, is also the author of more than 40 award-winning books, including A Pocket Full of Seeds, and the National Book Award finalist The Bear's House. She is a lifetime member of the Jane Austen Society and founder of its San Francisco branch.
