Willie Hixson asked Jean Sasson:

Would you ever consider writig a book with the roles reversed? I mean, I was married to an Arab man for years. We were able to keep it secret the entire time.But once it was found out, his parents and immediate family flew to the US and kidnapped him. My American name is Teresa but my Arab name is Amirah. lazeehranch@yahoo.com

Jean Sasson Hi Willie, Probably not, but only because my publishers say that mainly women buy books and that books written focusing on men do not sell to my readers... Sad, though, as the story you describe sounds very intriguing. You should write it yourself -- I think it would garner a lot of interest. Good luck and so sorry about this situation. Do you get to hear from him? Is he all right? I would think it would be more difficult to keep a man from contacting his wife than a woman from contacting her husband under the same set of circumstances. Write to me at jeansasson@msn.com as I'd love to hear the outcome of your story!
