One reason why I wrote THE LIBYAN...

When I wrote my memoir, THE LIBYAN, I frankly had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into. I knew it was something I had to do, but I also knew I shouldn't do it until the time was right...

On the day Gaddafi died, I told my husband that I was going to start writing, and I did, that same night. It took me two and a half years to finish, and he and my daughter were my earliest and most fervent supporters.  They both believed there was a story to be told and a country and people to be introduced to...

Above all, I wanted to share my love for
Libya and Libyans, and that is the basis for this story...

One of the reasons I love getting reviews is because it's a way for me to gauge if I have succeeded in introducing Libya to someone who knew nothing about it prior to reading my book. 
That is why reviews like this is priceless to me, and makes it all worthwhile. 

Thank you, from my heart to yours...❤️
