Despite the oppressive restrictions placed upon women in the Kingdom, she discovers warmth, love, joy and dedication among her female acquaintances. One of her co-workers convinces her to make the pilgrimage to Mecca while she is in the Kingdom. Her account of the Muslim faith and this once in a lifetime journey is both spiritually uplifting and fascinating.
