Old Line Publishing Announces Coming Release of New Novel - Altered Orchid

Old Line Publishing, LLC has announced May 21, 2007 as the release date for their next novel entitled "Altered Orchid: The Tragedy of an Arabian Princess." This book is a definite read for women the world over. There is no doubt that this novel will tug at the emotional cords of every woman who lives her life with dignity and self-respect. Follow the tragic life of Princess Yasmin al Hassan as her world is systematically torn apart by an unforgiving society.

Hampstead, MD (PRWEB) May 9, 2007 -- This compelling story chronicles the tragic life of Princess Yasmin al Hassan, a woman born into the royal echelons of Moroccan society. She falls from grace at the hands of an Islamic culture that holds no tolerance for the rights of women. This novel, which is a blend of fact and fiction, is an account of what can happen to women - even if they are royalty - if they do not follow the ultra-conservative rules of provincial Arab societies.

Yasmin is reared in the Moroccan Muslim tradition, where a certain degree of Western ideology and freedom is practiced. Many of those ideologies and freedoms that she enjoys in her home country are not accepted in many other Arab countries. After moving to Saudi Arabia with her new husband, Yasmin's beliefs - and all else that she holds dear - are unexpectedly taken away from her as she tries to live in her new world.

Yasmin fights her way through unspeakable horrors as she desperately tries to hold on to both her sanity and her life. She is an Arab woman in an Arab world and yet she is treated like an animal; no rights, no dignity, no life. As her world crumbles around her, she continues to find the courage necessary to live the only way she knows how … with the dignity and nobleness that was inherent in her from birth ... as a princess.

This gripping and timely novel, written by Edgar Beaumont takes the reader into a world where money is no object, struggles for power are behind every door, and women are treated as property. From Morocco to Saudi Arabia, from Egypt to the U.S., this book will be glued to your hands from the moment you pick it up.
