Synopsis
Leap of Faith is the dramatic and inspiring story of a western woman's remarkable journey into the heart of a man and his nation.
Born into a distinguished Arab-American family, Lisa Halaby was to become the wife of the world's most eligible bachelor, King Hussein of Jordan. With eloquence and honesty, Queen Noor speaks of the obstacles she faced as a young bride in the royal court and of her successful struggle to create a role for herself as a humanitarian activist.
With refreshing candour, Queen Noor tells of her heartbreaking miscarriage and the births of her four children, along with her continuing support for King Hussein's campaign to bring peace and unity to the Arab nations. But most of all this is a love story - an intimate portrait of a woman who won the heart of a king and his country.

"An engaging and inspiring book... Leap of Faith reflects a deep commitment to the people, culture, and natural beauty of Jordan" - Guardian
