Princess: Stepping out of the Shadows: Stories of Joy and Sorrow in a Kingdom on the Threshold of Revolutionary Change (Princess Trilogy: Bk. 1)

Synopsis

Some things never change—even in the life of a Saudi Princess! Whether it is entertaining guests in her decadent palace, jet-setting between four mansions on three different continents, or receiving opulent jewels from her adoring husband, the royal lifestyle is nothing new to Princess Sultana Al Sa’ud. And neither are the antics of the Royal Family: from a niece who constantly steals from her to a sister obsessed with having the lips of Angelina Jolie. And of course there’s Sultana’s bullish brother who is convinced that her outspokenness will be the ruin of the Royal Family! But miraculous change is also in the air. The young Saudi Crowned Prince has proclaimed his plan to give Saudi women more freedoms, including the right to drive! Princess Sultana exults as her beloved Kingdom moves further away from the days of infant girls buried in sand and women battered by stones or the fists of their husbands. Even as a bright, new day lingers on the horizon, Saudi women’s biggest obstacle still lurks in the shadows—the Guardianship Law. Will Saudi Arabia forever be plagued with men who doubt women’s capacity to make their own decisions? Will the winds of change wither to a whisper? Whatever may occur, Princess, Stepping Out of the Shadows proves that nothing is simple in Saudi Arabia.
