A member of one of the most distinguished and honored families in Iraq, Mayada grew up surrounded by wealth and royalty.

To ease their suffering, these “shadow women” passed each day by sharing their life stories. Now, through Jean Sasson, Mayada is finally able to tell her story-and theirs-to the world.

Shant Kenderian’s visit to Baghdad in 1980, at age seventeen, was supposed to be a short one — just enough time to make peace with his estranged father before returning to his home in the United States.

To make sense of the bloody insanity surrounding him, he started a blog about the war and how it differed from the government’s official version. As his blog’s popularity grew, Buzzell became the embedded reporter the Army couldn’t control-despite its often comical efforts to do so.
The result is an extraordinary narrative, rich with unforgettable scenes: the Iraqi woman crying uncontrollably duri
