From a real-life ambassador's wife comes a harrowing novel about the kidnapping of an American woman in the Middle East. When bohemian artist Miranda falls in love with Finn, the British ambassador to an Arab country, she finds herself thrust into a life for which she has no preparation. The couple and their toddler daughter live in a stately mansion with a staff to meet their every need, but for Miranda even this luxury comes at a price: the loss of freedom. Trailed everywhere by bodyguards to protect her from the dangers of a country wracked by civil war, she finds her world shattered when she is taken hostage. Suspenseful and moving, Jennifer Steil's The Ambassador's Wife (Doubleday) is a story of love, marriage, and friendship tested by impossible choices.
