A member of one of the most distinguished and honored families in Iraq, Mayada grew up surrounded by wealth and royalty. But when Saddam Hussein's regime took power, she was thrown into cell 52 in the infamous Baladiyat prison with seventeen other nameless, faceless women from all walks of life. To ease their suffering, these shadow women passed each day by sharing their life stories. Now, through Jean Sasson, Mayada is finally able to tell her story--and theirs--to the world.Jean Sasson is a writer and lecturer who has lived and traveled extensively throughout the Middle East. The Rape of Kuwait, Princess: A Real Tale of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia, Princess Sultana's Daughters, and Princess Sultana's Circle are among her four worldwide bestselling Middle Eastern works. Jean currently resides in the Deep South, but she still travels to the Middle East on a regular basis.
