Description: |
This
timely and chilling story provides a seldom-seen look from the inside. Paul’s
story, culled from notes smuggled out of prison and from letters to friends
and family, provides a truly factual account of the happenings in Al Wathba, one of the most notorious Middle East prisons. A
carefree holiday in Greece in the fall of 1998 turned into a nightmare when
customs authorities in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, who had been
forewarned, discovered a small amount of cocaine unknowingly stashed in Paul Ciceri’s backpack. He was arrested and imprisoned. Paul’s
story, sometimes shocking, sometimes disturbing, often revealing, but always
inspirational, puts the readers inside the walls of Al Wathba.
A deep faith in God, the support of family and friends, the ongoing efforts
of American Embassy staff to secure his release, and a strong will to survive
helped Paul through his 1001-day struggle. Truly an inspiration to everyone
who has faced adversity, Paul continued to thank God for his many blessings,
even as he was subjected to cruelty and unfairness. |
