totally unbelievable fairytales!!!!!
Anyone who has ever lived and worked in any countries in the Middle East would know right away these stories just could never have happened the way Al-Nahi describes them. Her first story was about Libya - she went in with the Mum, snatched the child from her school, spirits her back to the airport and presto - they are back in Britain!!The main problem with this story is that EVERY traveller needs both an ENTRANCE VISA and AN EXIT VISA - WHICH CAN TAKE WEEKS TO GET!!!!!!!The book was enoyable - solely as a work of fiction!!!!!

A Big Disappointment
While this book keeps your interest, the title is certainly misleading.This woman seems to be attempting to rescue children for her own excitement.In one case, she attempted to abduct an 11-year-old boy from his father, but as she discovers after she is arrested, the boy was much better off remaining where he was.A caption on the back of the book leads you to believe that the author herself fled an abusive marriage with her son, when it turns out that her husband at the time was a wonderful, generous man; she just became bored and realized she made a mistake in marrying him and that she didn't love him.So intead of handling it in a mature, adult manner, she runs away behind his back, leaving him devastated.In another case, she drugs a 6-year-old boy with valium and shaves off all his hair to make him look like he had cancer, so that she could sneak him out of Iraq on someone else's passport.All this because the child was denied a visa to England, not because he needed "rescued" from his father. A Heart As Big As Can Be!!
The story of a British mother who goes into dangerous Middle Eastern countries to rescue abducted children to reunite them with their mothers is about as inspiring as I've ever encountered.Donya Al-Nahi has written a book which keeps you reading and reading until you finish it in one sitting.I did.Read more

Visualizing a Future
Five sisters and a brother learn to survive in a family of neglect and violence fueled by alcohol and broken dreams. The story is told from the perspective of the oldest daughter as she searches for a way to fit her own strong,innate personality and curiosity into her parents' image of her. Because she and her siblings are forced to focus on daily survival in a negative, dis-courage-ing environment, as children, none of them develops a sense of future possibilities, of what they could be outside the toxicity of their home.
