When Donya Al-Nahi helped her friend reunite with her kidnapped child, she embarked
upon a calling that was to help hundreds of women in the same situation. These women's
children are not taken by a stranger—they are snatched by their own fathers, usually Middle
Eastern men who do not wish their children to be exposed to a Western upbringing, and so
take the children back to the countries of origin. What started as a favor to a friend has
turned into a life's work for Al-Nahi. In this book, she describes her adventures, venturing
into the most dangerous parts of the world, such as Iraq, Libya and Dubai, in order to find
the children and bring them home to their mothers. She has been arrested and thrown in
jail, but this has not dampened her determination to do the right thing and reunite mother
and child.
