Why a Booktrail?
1970s, 2000s: A story of impossible risks and love without boundaries.
No time To Blink
What you need to know before your trail
Catherine Clarke defied her family’s expectations when she married Gabriel, a handsome Lebanese businessman. After moving to Gabriel’s homeland and welcoming a baby daughter, Catherine knew she had to acclimate herself to the strange new world. Yet both her husband and her surroundings became more volatile and threatening than she could have ever imagined.
When Gabriel forbids her to return to the States, Catherine devises a plan to deceive him, but she vastly underestimates how far he will go to punish her. And after her daughter, Ann Marie, is abducted and taken deep into the mountains of Beirut—protected by family, culture, and law—the only thing on Catherine’s side is the fierceness of a mother’s love. She’s prepared to move heaven and earth to find her child.

Travel Guide
A tale of two countries and cultures
What would happen if you leave the USA and move to Beirut to be with your new husband? What would happen if you had a child and then discovered that you are now your husband’s property and that he won’t let you leave to return to the USA. How do you cope with being his property, his wife, instead of the woman you used to be?
What then if you return to the USA but then your husband kidnaps the child and returns to Beirut. How does a woman of one culture fight to get her freedom and life back? This is a similar but equally shocking story to ‘Not Without my Daughter.”
Beirut and Greenwich CT, where the couple meet..is at the centre of this cultural clash and fight for freedom.
