"Between Two Worlds" by Zainab Salbi

"When Zainab Salbi first published her memoir, I was reluctant to read it. I thought I knew everything about her and her work. What else did I need to know? I needed to learn how Zainab transformed her life to become the person she is today.

Zainab's memoir reflects its title "Between Two Worlds." It's a story of a young girl who didn't want to be part of Saddam's circle, but had to play the game for the sake of her parents' safety. When the game got too risky, her mother made a well-intended but wrong decision. She arranged for Zainab to marry an Iraqi expat living in the States."
