Synopsis
Sharing a personal perspective on the past three decades of world history, Queen Noor talks frankly of the many challenges of her life as wife and partner to the monarch, providing both an intimate portrait of the late King Hussein and a moving account of their public role.

In this memoir, she writes candidly about her life as the wife of a king, with insights into the politics of the Middle East as well as details of her humanitarian activism, her children's upbringing, and the sad death of her husband in 1999.

In an eloquent and candid memoir, the Queen of Jordan describes her youth in a privileged Arab-American family, her Princeton education, and her marriage to King Hussein of Jordan, providing an intimate portrait of the late monarch and his quest for peace in the Middle East, their private life together, her work as a queen and activist, and the message of Islam in the wake of September 11.
Industry reviews
"LEAP OF FAITH fulfills its mandate of assuring ordinary readers that real-life fairy tales are suffused with pain as well as magic....What emerges is a careful yet often revealing account of domestic adjustment and Middle East politics, as well as an affecting wifely portrait of King Hussein...." New York Times Book Review - Julie Salamon (04/13/2003) "On one hand, this is a glossy and decorous account of the queen's unusual experiences, with a polite tendency to accentuate the positive. ("I urged everyone I worked with to speak freely and offer honest, constructive criticism.") On the other, it is a fiery account of her husband's frustrations in dealing with international diplomacy in general and the United States and Israel in particular....In a book whose guess-who's-coming-to-dinner anecdotes involve couples like the Qaddafis, the author's closely observed knowledge of Middle Eastern leaders is particularly important. The Saddam Hussein to be found in these pages and the rise in his popularity among Jordanians of Palestinian descent warrant a close look." New York Times - Janet Maslin (03/27/2003)
