“Reunited in the Desert”, a newly published book about one mother’s dramatic attempts to recover her four boys abducted by their father to Saudi Arabia
Available in bookshops, online and from us is the excellent book by Helle Amin called “Reunited in the Desert”, just published by John Blake. It is the story of a Danish woman who thought her marriage was happy with four lovely boys until one day she returned home from a shopping trip to discover her husband had snatched them to his home country of Saudi Arabia. She journeyed into that country, took a job locally and embarked upon a fight for her children through the male dominated Saudi courts. After huge resistance she managed to see her children. She preserved. Against all odds and after a long struggle and with help from the English Family Courts, she succeeded in gaining their return to England and to be reunited with their mother, the author. She was awarded the Tesco Mum of the Year award.
Ann Thomas of The International Family Law Group acted for her in the English child abduction proceedings.
It is a book which gives hope and encouragement to the thousands of women in a similar situation every year. It contains a post script from Denise Carter, director of Reunite, the charity which helps parents whose children have been abducted. It is hoped that a book launch will be held soon. Copies of the book are available from iFLG. Please contact us for details.
