This is the true story of Latifa Ali, raised as a Westerner, but betrayed by her family and friends and left a prisoner of her father in Kurdistan, northern Iraq. She has no allies, no liberty as a Muslim woman and no access to any embassy.As the 'war on terror' rages around her, Latifa is at war with Iraqi culture and customs. Imprisoned, abused and violated, her efforts to escape fail and her death looms closer. Working as a spy, consorting with the UN and racing for the border, Latifa has a dangerous secret that, if exposed, will threaten her life.
