In 1996, a young graduate, Violet Baretto leaves Goa to work in oil-rich Kuwait as a maid for a wealthy Kuwaiti woman. Sabah Dashti, the Kuwaiti matriarch can’t tell Violet the truth; nine of Sabah’s previous maids have absconded, five of them were found pregnant or that the police think she’s running a prostitution ring.
Kuwait is still patriarchal and women are second-class citizens. Despite their differences, both Sabah and Violet are hungry for success as it will give them a chance to live life on their own terms. Together they build a thriving business. But a woman-hating, the killer has set eyes on them and will not let them succeed at any cost. Poignant, chilling and honest, Painting Kuwait Violet underlines the reality of women on either side of the country’s class divide.

-I’m usually not one to read books about being single, because they don’t always uplift, but I was thankful the author encouraged to trust the Lord ultimately; to align our lives with Christ!- Olivia
-I recommend this book to any women, I also think this book would be a great resource for women who would like to encourage their friends.- Lourdes
– Though targeted towards single women, this book had several portions that I feel are useful to any faithful Christian. I loved her vocation section. Her discussion on chastity is an important one, and her advice on seeking God was phenomenal. One of my favorite parts was how she talked about trying to be a Proverbs 31 woman while feeling like a Psalm 31 woman. -Kate Hendrick

– I thoroughly enjoyed her first book, so I was excited to get to read this one and she did not disappoint me. I am now salivating waiting to read the third installment, especially after the sneak peek at the end of this book. The author has quite the knack for writing about sports and the headaches of relationships that go along with them. – Karen Pearman
– Stumped is the first book of Pamela Q Fernandez that I have read and boy did she get me hooked. The details are amazing, she explained cricket well enough for me to follow along and understand it. -Kristine
– This is my first book by this author, and I loved it. Claude and Delilah had a bitter sweet sort of relationship, and all the ups and downs made you on unsure of where things would go. Their summer of love, romance, and marriage was a whirlwind. The divorce gave you a sense of tragedy. Their love felt like the seasons and you truly were not sure where things would go when they reconnected. This book is one not to be missed. -SaviLeelin
