Altered Orchid: The Tragedy of an Arabian Princess

This compelling story chronicles the tragic life of Princess Yasmin Al Hassan, a woman born into the royal echelons of Moroccan society. She falls from grace at the hands of an Islamic culture that holds no tolerance for the rights of women. This novel is an account of what can happen to women if they do not follow the ultra-conservative rules of provincial Arab societies - even if they are royalty. Yasmin is reared in the Moroccan Muslim tradition, where a certain degree of Western ideology is practiced. Much of the Western ideology is not accepted in many other Arab countries. After moving to Saudi Arabia with her new husband, Yasmin's beliefs and all else she holds dear are tragically taken away from her as she tries to live in her new world. She fights her way through unspeakable horrors as she desperately tries to hold on to both her sanity and her life.
