Only in her twenties when she arrived in Saudi Arabia to teach in an oil-company school, the author was an eyewitness to the decline of Western influence and stirrings of internal discontent in the region. Her travels gave her a ringside seat to observe the early stages of problems--neglected then--that have ballooned to lethal crises today.

Industry Reviews

"A work of art, told in a voice from the era in which the story is set. The prose is completely winning and has an underlying strength; a steel hand in a velvet glove." David Landau, Publisher of Pureplay Press and Author of Death is not Always the Winner

"A delightful, amusing, and informative read by an American female who lived in Saudi Arabia during the nineteen sixties. A thoughtful integration of anecdotes, Middle Eastern characters, regional history, and issues that still haunt the Middle East today." Alan Coe, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (London)

"A pensive, reflective retrospective of the author's experience in Saudi Arabia in her twenties." The Reverend Dan Lackie, OFM, Editor of The Way Magazine.
