Imagine growing up in a fairly typical, albeit wealthy, American family, then falling in love with and marrying a king. Not the King of Monaco, but the King of Jordan. Sound like a work of fiction? A fairy tale, maybe? This is Queen Noor’s life. Her autobiography gives us an insider’s view of Middle Eastern politics, government, culture, and religion from the perspective of a woman born and raised in the United States. It is also a love story—between a woman and a man, and a woman and her adopted country. Queen Noor’s autobiography reads like a novel, compelling to the end. Four out of four bookworms.
