People of Islam Through the Eyes of Friendship Amazon Digital Services LLC - KDP Print US

Karen Sigurdson considers herself a Citizen of the World, and her book reflects her life experiences among those of varied religions and cultures. As a young girl, she had a desire to be a missionary, which she satisfied as a volunteer nurse in the West Indies. It was there her life changed forever, when her husband responded to a New York Times advertisement for physicians needed in Saudi Arabia.

Her book chronicles her life in Saudi Arabia, including her time in Riyadh, during the Gulf War, and her travels throughout the Middle East. She invites the reader to join her as she recounts the many stories of her Muslim friends and acquaintances who helped her understand that most of those she met along the way wanted much of what she hoped for her life, health, security and happiness.

Sigurdson currently lives with her husband and their animals in the desert just outside of Phoenix. Her children are grown, with families of their own. She continues to work in the medical field.
