And the tragedy she faced? "
Ashi, I believe thatMalala Yousafzai is a very brave young woman and that she is doing wonderful things to advance education for young girls. What do you think of her?

Thanks for asking. I'm finishing up a new book now. It is a true story featuring two women and is titled: YASMEENA'S CHOICE which is a very forceful look at what women endure when they are used as pawns in war. THis problem is not limited to the Middle East, as you know, although the women are Middle Eastern. Sadly, when armies go into foreign lands, there will always be some very bad men who believe that women are the fruits of war. Somehow we must stop this, or at least make the punishments very severe as to women are not used in this way... I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for writing. Jean

What are your "book plans" about middle east? Any new books to be written about?
