Story
Princess describes the life of Princess Sultana Al Sa'ud, a princess in the royal house of Saudi Arabia. Hidden behind her black veil, she is a prisoner, jailed by her father, her husband, and her country. Sultana tells of appalling oppressions, everyday occurrences that in any other culture would be seen as shocking human rights violations: 13-year-old girls forced to marry men five times their age; young women killed by drowning, stoning, or isolation in the "women's room". Princess is a testimony to a woman of indomitable spirit and courage.

From the time she was a little girl, Maryam rebelled against the terrible second-class existence that was her destiny as an Afghan woman.

After she made a public show of defiance, she had to flee the country for her life. A new life of freedom seemed within her grasp, but her father arranged a traditional marriage to a fellow Afghan, who turned out to be a violent man....

Publisher's Summary
As the world's attention traces the reluctant social advances in the Middle East, Princess Sultana and her female friends and family have stepped forward to rescue young women in the region who are cruelly mistreated by their husbands, their fathers, and the brutish ISIS soldiers who kidnap them. But inside the Princess' lavish Saudi Arabian palace, sparks of anger and bolts of fear crackle because of the secrets kept to forward her efforts to help women and children.
Kareem is furious when Sultana guards Maha's secret to volunteer to help traumatized children at a refugee camp in Turkey. When a beautiful Yemeni woman visits the royal palaces of Saudi Arabia, Sultana is saddened yet mesmerized to be told the story of the woman's seven marriages. Meanwhile, Kareem’s father takes a new wife - and Princess Sultana is blamed.

Another Amazing Book From Princess Sultana
Great book by Jean Sasson. I love these stories. I hope there is more!!! The work Princess Sultana is doing is amazing. And great to see that her daughters and the little granddaughter are all following in her footsteps, helping woman who need their help. i feel so sad for all the woman in the world who suffer so much due to the oppressed culture and their status in society. i wish all woman around the world are free and happy like many woman from different countries. i feel that we take out freedom for granted.

Great series of books
I have enjoyed all the books in the Princess series. This one was my least favourite as it was slightly repetitive.
