Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia: PRINCESS describes the life of 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: thirteen-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 Sultana’s Daughters: As second-generation members of the royal family who have benefited from Saudi oil wealth, Maha and Amani are surrounded by untold opulence and luxury from the day they were born and which they take for granted. In Princess Sultana’s Daughters, Sasson exposes the stifling and unbearably restrictive lifestyle imposed on these women. They have reacted in equally desperate ways. Their stories are set against traditional Saudi Arabian culture and social mores
Princess Sultana’s Circle: When Sultana’s niece is forced into an arranged marriage with a cruel, depraved older man and a royal cousin’s secret harem of sex slaves is revealed, Sultana’s attempts at intervention in their various plights are thwarted. But when her nephews are caught committing an unspeakable act against a 12-year-old girl, Sultana is galvanized into action. Risking her personal status and wealth, she takes a stand against the complacency of her male relatives over the child’s fate. Ultimately, in Princess Sultana’s Circle, Sultana and her sisters vow to form a circle of support that will surround and shelter abused women and girls.
