THANKSGIVING GIVE-AWAY & The Lucky #8

THANKSGIVING GIVE-AWAY!

It’s Thanksgiving here in Canada, and what better way to celebrate than by gifting one lucky woman with a personalized signed copy of the award-winning book, ‘East of Mecca’ by WMF 2018 Say Si Speaker, Dr. Sheila Flaherty!

This moving and unforgettable novel, East of Mecca, tells a timely, harrowing, and heartbreaking story of love and betrayal, the transcendent power of sisterhood, and the ultimate price of oppression. Told with riveting authenticity and exquisite detail, East of Mecca explores gender apartheid through the abuse of absolute power with an elegant balance of cultural nuance and moral inquiry. Long after you have turned the last page, you will be haunted by the vivid characters and powerful scenes illuminating this tour de force.

At WMF 2018, East of Mecca author, Dr. Sheila Flaherty, will take the floor to talk about her experience living in Saudi Arabia, and share her insights into what it is like to be a woman living in a country governed by sharia law.

Don’t miss out on this give-away – enter your name & email address now (or no later than today, Monday, October 9 by 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time), and your name will be entered into the draw!
