Description

In 1974 Carmen Bin Ladin, half-Swiss & half-Persian, married into the Bin Laden family. In Saudi Arabia, she was forbidden to leave her home without the head-to-toe black abaya that completely covered her face. As Carmen tells of her struggle to save her marriage & raise her daughters to be freethinking young women, she also describes this family’s ties to the Saudi royal family & introduces us to the ever loyal Bin Laden brothers, including Osama. In 1988, in Switzerland, Carmen separated from her husband & began fighting to gain custody of her three daughters. Now, with this candid memoir, she dares to pull off the veils that conceald one of the most powerful, secretive, & repressive countries in the world. Photos.
