Author Patricia Bonis on Life with a Saudi Billionaire—and the Price She Paid

Author Patricia Bonis talks about her memoir Jeddah Bride — a harrowing and deeply personal story of love, sacrifice, and survival. From her whirlwind romance with a Saudi billionaire to the harsh realities of life under one of the world’s most repressive regimes, Patricia opens up about losing her personal freedoms, witnessing public executions, and ultimately having her children kidnapped and taken to Saudi Arabia — where she would not see them again for 14 years. Through resilience, hope, and the healing power of writing, Patricia’s story is one of strength and redemption. Jeda Bride is more than a memoir — it's a mother's love letter, a warning, and a triumph.
