My Precious Children, My Plight, My Life, My Story is the true, heartbreaking
story of an American woman whose life took many twists
and turns. There was marriage, separation, divorce, imprisonment
in a foreign country and making the heart-wrenching decision to
leave her children on foreign soil or continue to be oppressed by the
very man she married for happiness.
The marriage was destined to
failure because Maha’s “free spirit” conflicted with her husband’s
dominating character. Maha also had to regain her memory and learn
how to walk and talk again because of a horrifying car accident that
left her in a comatose state for over two months.
Maha courageously underscores the significance of following the
command of God in the Holy Qur’an and the examples of Prophet
Muhammad for some of today’s most controversial issues, such as
treatment of women, racism, relations with other religions and other
spiritual aspects of Islam.
Maha Sabur was born in 1962, a “military
brat” who experienced the racial and political
riots of the sixties. She saw life differently
and her ideas contradicted those of her
father. The biggest contradiction was her religious
and racial beliefs, which led her to
become a Muslim and eventually marry her
first husband, a Muslim.
