Abaya: A Novel

by Margaret Drake

Elizabeth Adams expects the adventure of a lifetime when she accepts a faculty position at the Nursing Education Program at the National Saudi University for Girls, but nothing could prepare her for the whirlwind of drama and intrigue she encounters as she navigates romance and rescue under the close eye of the Committee for the Protection of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice. When a student begs Elizabeth to help save her life, she embarks on a quest that brings her closer to the heart of Saudi Arabia and her own beliefs about freedom, love, and purpose.
