SEPARATED FROM HER FIRST HUSBAND AFTER THE BIRTH OF HER FIRST SON, SHE LATER MARRIED TO AN IRAQI, MAHMOND AND HAD THREE CHILDREN FROM THAT MARRIAGE. SINCE THE BOOK, 'HEROINE OF THE DESERT IS A TRUE STORY, AN ACCOUNT OF DONYA S MISSION TO CAPTURE CHILDREN SEPARATED FROM THEIR MOTHERS BY DECEIT, AND TAKEN AWAY TO THE MIDDLE EAST COUNTRIES BY THEIR FATHERS, IT IS EVEN MORE THRILLING THAN ANY FICTION.
