On a brief visit to Cairo to support an investigation her fiancé, a Jewish American journalist, has undertaken, Salma is caught up in the machinations of a new, radical Islamist group with a vendetta against her father, a man with his own dark side. A former lover and Islamist, kidnaps her. He forces her to flee with him from Cairo to Aswan in the far south of Egypt. As they navigate the backroads, Salma, a privileged Egyptian-American, finds herself hiding under a burqa, running desert sandstorms and relying on the goodwill of poor villagers.
A page-turner, Escape to Aswan is not only a political thriller but a dramatic telling of the clashes of culture and class in the Arab world.
Her professional experience includes being a clinical psychologist in private practice, a court appointed evaluator, mediator and special master, and a professor in three graduate programs that she helped establishthe last being at the American University in Cairo to which she bi-located from Seattle for years.
Spurred by her lifetime of activism in support of human rights, Amal has run for political office and served on a variety of boards, including Psychologist for Social Responsibility (PsySR), the Santa Clara County American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and as an elected trustee of the West Valley-Mission Community College in California.
Amal lived in the San Francisco Bay Area before she moved to Seattle, where she currently resides, to be near one of her two daughters.
