Jaqueline Pascarl is an Australian author, TV personality and parents' rights advocate and humanitarian aid worker. Jacqueline established 'Operation Book Power' in 1995, a child literacy project operating in Kenya and South Africa. In 1998, she was appointed Special Ambassador for the international development and aid agency, CARE International and worked as an emergency aid worker in the conflict zones of Bosnia, Kosovo and East Timor. In Once I Was A Princess Jacqueline Pascarl told how her marriage to a Malaysian prince from the Islamic state of Terengganu, went horribly wrong, descending from fairy tale into a cycle of abuse, deception and virtual imprisonment. When she decided to leave him and return to Australia with their two children, her former husband exacted a terrible revenge, kidnapping the children. It was a story which made international headlines. But what happened next? Here, in a long awaited sequel, Jacqueline reveals how she channelled her grief and loss into a positive force, helping other parents whose children had been abducted. Marrying again, she began another family, and worked as a CARE ambassador in refugee camps. But all the time she hoped to hear something of her two young children - and of their lives in Malaysia. And finally she received an email which became the first step in the highly anticipated and emotional reunion with her daughter, earlier this year. A gripping true story Since I was a Princess is a deeply affecting memoir of love and faith rewarded. Exciting new website coming soon..... |
