About The Book
On 11th September 2001, the world witnessed an unprecedented tragedy when two airplanes attacked the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. The world was shaken to its core, and the event caused widespread panic not only in the U.S. but across the globe. Amidst this chaos, Carmen Bin Laden, who was living in Geneva at the time, found herself in an unimaginable situation.

Carmen was thrust into the spotlight when her brother-in-law, Osama Bin Laden, was accused of orchestrating the horrific attacks. As the news flooded every channel and newspaper, her life took a devastating turn. For years, Carmen had distanced herself from the Bin Laden family, having divorced her husband, Yeslam, with the sole purpose of providing her daughters with a life of freedom. But the attacks on the Twin Towers shattered her peace and dragged her into the public eye, with accusations of complicity aimed at her daughters.

In this powerful narrative, Carmen shares her personal struggle, detailing her efforts to defend her family’s honor and separate herself from the dark legacy of the Bin Laden name. Through candid interviews and reflections on her time in Saudi Arabia, she provides a raw and honest account of her fight for her daughters' safety and happiness. This book is a testament to a woman’s resilience in the face of overwhelming challenges and a poignant exploration of the impact of global events on personal lives.
