Summary: At Any Price
Review: Upon finishing this totalling enralling and very well written book I am amazed at the courage, bravery and endurance this woman has had to sustain for nearly two decades. Not only has she devoted her life to freeing her innocent daughters from the totalitarian clutches of a Stalinistic regime like Saudi Arabia, had to fight her own government who obviously worked as 'Saudi agents' and compromised her and her daughters in every way but has helped so very many others in similar situations.Ms. Roush keeps the reader on the 'edge of your seat' as she wages her Joan of Arc battles all alone amidst insurmountable government betrayal and abuse. What she has done for this issue of human rights for women and children caught inside Saudi Arabia not to mention her tireless work as a pioneer in international child abduction is truly astounding. Her work with legislation, media, the U.S. Congress and the United Nations not to mention all the personal time and expense she has given to those in need is an inspiration to me. I found this book to be a special gift to America - to us all; it is exactly what is needed in these days of government deception and the focus on the Middle East. Her story of love, hope and faith should be on everyone's reading list.

Summary: *** A real eye opener, exellent book! ***
Review: We take so much for granted in this country. Once you read this book, you will appreciate the freedom you have, as a woman, in the United States. I highly recommend this book. The book is beautifully written, draws you in, and keeps your attention until the very end. I enjoyed reading about Pat Roush's courage, faith and perseverance throughout the book. The road blocks, the risky steps, all in her quest to free her daughters. It takes a great deal of courage and faith to persist in fighting such an uphill battle when your own Government consistently discourages you from succeeding. Throughout the book, one feels outrage at our own Government and especially our Department of State's position on this case, all because of the "special relationship" the USA has with Saudi Arabia. I commend the author and people like former U.S. Ambassador Raymond Mabus, Ed Ciriello and Congressman Dan Burton for their courage, bravery and all their efforts in trying so hard to bring those girls home, they came so close at times, and yet in the end, the Saudis always manage to get their way, that is up until now. I want to believe those girls will find their way home soon, and I hope to have the pleasure of reading a sequel "Home at last" type of book one day. Keep up the good lobbying work! I highly recommend this book to anyone. To western women who might contemplate marrying a Saudi, be forewarned: if you value your freedom, consider reading this book before saying "I do". To Pat Roush, I say GO FOR IT! Continue your fight for liberating your family and that of others. You are an inspiration to us all.

Summary: a difficult book
Review: When I started reading this book I felt great pity for Pat Roush and her girls. By the end of the book I still felt terrible for the girls but only annoyance for Ms. Roush.
It's horrible to think about two American girls being trapped in one of the most repressive countries on Earth but what can be done really? Should a team of commandos be sent in to snatch the girls or should the American government hammer Saudi Arabia with sanctions?The first option won't fly. Nobody wants to see American soldiers get killed for the sake of a domestic dispute and if America punishes Saudi Arabia what about all the other countries? American children are in Germany and other European countries with their mothers and their American fathers can't even see them. The situation is also reversed. American parents have snatched children away from foreign born parents. This is a sad story and there is a lesson in it for the reader: think before you marry a foreigner.
