Books Included in This Collection:
Princess
Princess opens a window into Sultana’s candid memoir, where a royal facade masks personal courage and peril. Writing under the shadow of potential harm to family, she shares the complexities of duty, desire, and survival within a system that guards identity. The result is an intimate, gripping portrait of a woman choosing truth over silence and offering readers an unprecedented glimpse behind palace walls.
Daughters Of Arabia
Daughters Of Arabia shifts the lens to Maha and Amani, the Princess’s teenage daughters, offering a rare view of life behind the veil. This sequel expands the personal focus to motherhood, education, and the costs and courage of growing up within royal expectations. It stands as a powerful, ongoing reflection on how women’s voices can begin to reshape a nation.
Desert Royal
Desert Royal places Sultana at the center of a volatile social horizon—the push for women’s rights in a repressive, fundamentalist climate, the threat of global terrorism, and the political dissonance of a changing region. It conveys urgency and risk while preserving the human dimension of family, loyalty, and the stubborn hope that reform can endure amidst upheaval.
Princess More Tears to Cry
Princess More Tears to Cry continues the narrative of progress and challenge, documenting how education and earning opportunities empower Saudi women to enter medicine, social work, business, and public life. The tone remains urgent yet hopeful, showing both the gains and ongoing obstacles in modern life for women balancing tradition with transformation.
Secrets to Share
Secrets to Share introduces Meena and Fatima, two pivotal figures who illustrate advocacy and resilience in the face of abuse and systemic barriers. It broadens the Princess canon into healing, rights advocacy, and palace-level support networks, underscoring how individual courage can ripple outward to help others.
Stepping Out Of The Shadows
Stepping Out Of The Shadows confronts guardianship laws and the ongoing struggle for legal protection and autonomy. This final volume tightens the focus on practical change—education, work, and public life—while continuing a candid dialogue about the personal cost of progress for Saudi women.
