In this gripping episode, author Patricia Bonis shares her harrowing true story documented in "Jeddah Bride." Bonis recounts falling in love with a Saudi man in 1970s Boston, her shocking cultural adjustment in Saudi Arabia, and the devastating 14-year separation from her children after their father kidnapped them. Host Blaine DeSantis guides this eye-opening conversation exploring cross-cultural marriage, religious conversion, and the stark legal differences that left an American mother powerless when international custody laws failed her family.
