Bête Brune (Brown Beast‪)‬

Judith Sanders lives in the war-torn Middle East, sharing a country with an America-hating, women-despising populace. But her work as a diplomat challenges her to not only stand up to long-held hostilities and prejudices but to do so while maintaining strength of character, femininity, and a deep, abiding love for her husband. In the face of war and terrorism, one woman learns not only to endure the unendurable, but to thrive under its weight.
