Bio
Dear Jean,
I have read the Princess trilogy several times over, and more recently, For The Love of a Son and Love in a Torn Land.
I would just like to say you are one of my biggest role models as well as the women you have written about. One day I hope I can do something nearly as worthy with my life.
The note from author which appears on the Amazon Kindle Store Jean Sasson page, is as if you are speaking from my heart.
I am 23 years old and live in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The first book I read which enlightened me of the horror that occurs in the Middle East was Not Without My Daughter by Betty Mahmoody. This was about 9 years ago, I was truly shocked. Since then I have tried to learn as much as I can about the countries in the Middle East and the plight of the women living there.
I truly believe you have changed many lives, certainly mine, with the awareness you have brought to this cause. Princess Sultana, Joanna and Maryam will forever be in my heart and I will always wonder where they are and what they are doing now.
Princess Sultana of Saudi Arabia, to this day I still refer to her as “My Princess”. What an incredible and strong woman, to defy her husband and family throughout her life to get what she felt was right. She attempted to and did help so many

Desert Royal
In Princess, readers were shocked by Sultana's revelations about life in Saudi Arabia's royal family. Royal women live as virtual prisoners, surrounded by unimaginable wealth and luxury, privileged beyond belief, and yet subject to every whim of their husbands, fathers, and even their sons. Daughters of Arabia featured Sultana's teenage daughters, determined to rebel but in very different ways.
And now, in Desert Royal, Sultana's fight for women's rights in a repressive, fundamentalist Islamic society, has an extra sense of urgency. The threat of world terrorism, the gathering strength of religious leaders and the discontent of impoverished Saudis are threatening to topple the comfortable world Sultana has known. But an extended family 'camping' trip in the desert brings Sultana and her relatives face to face with their nomadic roots, and nourishes her will to carry on the fight for women's rights in all Muslim countries.
This updated edition contains an all-new chapter as well as a letter from Sultana herself, encouraging all women to take up the struggle for freedom for their abused sisters throughout the world.
