Publisher's summary

Listeners of Princess were gripped by Jean Sasson's powerful indictment of women's lives behind the veil. Now, in the compelling sequel, Jean Sasson and Princess Sultana turn the spotlight on Sultana's two teenage daughters, Maha and Amani.

As second-generation members of the royal family who have benefited from Saudi oil wealth, Maha and Amani are surrounded by untold opulence and luxury from the day they were born. And yet, they are stifled by the unbearably restrictive lifestyle imposed on them, driving them to desperate measures.

Throughout, Sultana and Sasson never tire of their quest to expose the injustices which society levels against women. Princess Sultana once more strikes a chord among all women who are lucky enough to have the freedom to speak out for themselves.

Truth

I lived in Saudi Arabia for more than 8 years between 1978-1990. I admire her courage and add my Christian prayers for the welfare of the women of the world.

Misleading title

The book is about a lot more than just the Princess' two daughters and a great addition to the Princess' first book.

Another difficult to listen to page turner.

I had to take breaks from listening to the stories of vicious evil injustices toward women in order to calm my rage, despair and compassion. Blessings to this princess for her revelations.
