[edit] Background

Roush's own daughters, Alia and Aisha, were kidnapped by their non-custodial Saudi father, and were never returned to the United States. They are now grown, but remain in the Kingdom.

She has testified to the United States Congress to advocate more be done to repatriate kidnapped children.[1]

She has sought help from the U.S. government, and believes it has largely let her down; however, she cites former Saudi Ambassador Ray Mabus and U.S. Rep. Dan Burton (R-CA) as individuals who have been particularly supportive.[2] She has also written a book titled At Any Price, which details her experience with the Saudi government.
