Malika Oufkir was the eldest born daughter of General Oufkir, the King of Morocco's closest aide; she was adopted at age five by the King and raised as a companion to his little daughter. Malika grew to become one of the most eligible heiresses in the kingdom, surrounded by luxury and privilege. But when her father attempted to assassinate the King, Malika, her five siblings, and her mother were immediately imprisoned in a penal colony. They endured twenty years of imprisonment, isolation and pain until their daring escape.

Stolen Lives is a heart-rending account of resilience in the face of extreme deprivation, of the courage and even humor with which one family faced their tormented fate. A shocking true story, it is hard to comprehend that it could have happened in our own times.

MALIKA OUFKIR, born in 1953, divides her time between Miami and Marrakesh where she lives with her husband and children.

MICHELE FITOUSSI is of Tunisian descent, and is the author of two novels and a collection of short stories as well as being the literary editor of French Elle.

EDITA BRYCHTA has appeared in the movies One Night Stand, Conspiracy Theory. Crime of the Century, and in the TV movies, Rockford Files: Godfather Knows Best, Behind the Palace Doors, and Blind Justice.
