Title: Stolen Lives: Twenty Years in a Desert Jail
Author: Malika Oufkir and Michele Fitoussi
Publisher: Hyperion
Year: 2002
294 pages
Brought up in privilege, Malika, her mother, and her younger siblings were disappeared after their father's failed coup against King Hassan II (also Malika's adoptive father). They spent many years in squalid desert prisons and, after a successful escape that allowed them to contact foreign governments and press, a number of years of house arrest and surveillance. It's quite the amazing survival story.
