For the Love of a Son

From the New York Times bestselling author of PRINCESS: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia, comes the heartbreaking story of one woman's quest for her stolen child.

As a little girl in Afghanistan, Maryam fought for equality and defied the second-class standing of women by pretending to be a boy.

When her feisty spirit nearly cost her life, after a public act of rebellion against the invasion of Russia, Maryam is forced to flee to America.

But her fresh start at life is short-lived as her arranged marriage to a violent Afghan leaves her with only one joy--the birth of her son.

When she attempts to escape her brutal marriage, her husband steals their son away and takes him back to Afghanistan, a land torn by civil war and Taliban oppression.

What follows is the stirring true story of one mother's struggle for justice, as she fights to be reunited with her son.
