The dramatic story of a mother's determination to regain her kidnapped son and daughter.
'No One Takes My Children' is the gripping account of Donya Al-Nahi's heroic quest to track down her son and daughter after her Iraqi husband snatched two of their four children and fled to the Middle East. It is a dramatic, emotional and ultimately inspiring story of how one woman's determination and courage - in the face of extremely daunting odds - achieved incredible results.
In March 2002, the unthinkable happened - her Iraqi husband took their daughter, Amira, five, and their youngest son, Alla, four, and fled to the Middle East. Donya immediately begged and borrowed whatever funds she could and flew there to begin the hunt. Reported sightings in Beirut and Damascus came to nothing, and she was forced to return home without her two missing children. A further trip with a private detective also proved fruitless, and Donya's hopes of ever retrieving her children began to fade.
Meanwhile, the war in Iraq led to the fall of Saddam and the so-called liberation of the country. When she received news that her husband had entered Iraq with the children, she knew she had no choice but to follow - and nothing could stand in her way this time.
no one takes my children
Is this book fiction or non-fiction? I do not find it plausible and having had personal experience of this woman and her fake double life, I would find it hard to put too much credit to what she says.
