Uncovered is a non-fiction account of the author's struggle for equality and the right to control her own destiny in an Islamic culture where women are treated as chattels.

She was set upon as a child by the elders of her own family when she refused to cover herself in a burqa. She stood up to agents of the Ayatollah Khomeini when they demanded she spy upon the Swiss Embassy where she was employed. Uncovered is a guided tour of the torturous ordeal of her journey from childhood in Pakistan to her ultimate success in America.
