Diary of a Turkish Wedding is a study of love, heartbreak and
cultural contrasts. It moves from the deeply personal and can be
extrapolated into the universal. I believe Westerners, especially
Western women, have a deep desire to understand the culture of Islam
better. We wonder about daily life in the Islamic tradition and have a
deep desire to empower the women we see in distant lands. "Diary of a
Turkish Wedding" is an engaging personal love story, a story of
empowerment and a bridge that can help build deeper understanding
without condoning. Sunni's heartbreak is our heartbreak. And Sunni's
empowerment is our empowerment. It is possible for each of us. This marvelous book is a "must read" for all women of power and those
that seek empowerment.
