Disenchanted: One Woman's Journey for Independence from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Based on a true account, author Victoria Kilbury shares the story of Nabila, a woman who struggles between two worlds and two drastically different cultures: her homeland in the Middle East and the United States she experiences as a young newlywed. As a child in Saudi Arabia, Nabila knew no other life than that in which she lived, a society where women had no rights. Females could not attend school, pursue careers unless sanctioned by the government, drive cars, or choose their husbands. From birth to marriage, women in Nabila s culture remained under the control of males: a father, husband, son, or brother. Disenchanted: One Woman s Journey for Independence from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is Nabila s story of trying to find happiness and fulfillment in her homeland, but ultimately, having to sacrifice family for freedom.
