The author and her family woke up to find their country occupied on August 2, 1990. For them, two months of radical changes in living followed. Finally, they fled, enduring a difficult journey via Baghdad to Amman and the United States. The author, of Palestinian origin, also discusses the different attitudes of Arabs in Jordan, particular of the Palestinians. She notes the strength and promise of the Kuwaitis, especially of the young, who proved more mature and purposeful than had been thought, and of Kuwaiti women.
