Forbidden Fate

About the Book

I GREW UP TRAVELING, AS MY FATHER CONTRACTED FOR GOVERNMENT JOBS AND THEY WERE USUALLY ONLY YEAR CONTRACTS. SO WE MOVED EVERY YEAR, A DIFFERENT STATE, A NEW TOWN AND ALWAYS A NEW SCHOOL. AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, I WANTED TO JOIN VOLUNTEERS IN SERVICE TO AMERICA. I WANTED TO SEE THE WORLD. MY FAMILY OBJECTED. I THEN TRIED COLLEGE, BUT IT WAS MORE THAN MY FAMILY COULD AFFORD. I STARTED WORKING, MET SOMEONE, MARRIED AND STARTED A FAMILY. THE ONE ADVENTURE WE HAD, WAS WE TRAVELED ACROSS THE UNITED STATES FOR 31 DAYS AND WE VISITED 28 STATES. TEN YEARS LATER MY HUSBAND TOOK ME TO MEXICO CITY AND ACAPULCO. SHORTLY AFTER, OUR MARRIAGE ENDED. ALONE WITH TWO KIDS, I WENT BACK TO SCHOOL AND COMPLETED WITH A LICENSE IN X-RAY AND A LICENSE IN ULTRASOUND. IT WOULD BE EIGHT YEARS LATER THAT I MADE THE DECISION TO GO TO SAUDI ARABIA. IT WAS A LIFE CHANGING MOVE. WHEN I RETURNED, I READ THROUGH MY JOURNALS AND THEN PUT THEM IN A LOCKED CHEST. SEVEN YEARS LATER I OPENED THAT CHEST. IT WAS TO DESTROY THE JOURNALS. BUT AS I READ THROUGH THEM FOR THE LAST TIME. I CAME TO A PART OF ONE JOURNAL WHERE MY FRIENDS ALWAYS SAID THEY WERE GOING TO WRITE A BOOK OF THEIR EXPERIENCES IN SAUDI ARABIA. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS TIME. I DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO THOSE I WAS WITH IN SAUDI ARABIA. YOU ARE STILL WITH ME.
