The Guard: A Tale of Two Lives is a story about a girl with no freedom to choose. She is made a guard, and her story is the story of the lives of millions of girls in Africa who travel from crib to grave with no control over their lives. Reva the Guard takes us on a journey from humble beginnings that ultimately result in dramatic changes in the political scenario of Libya with characters in the highest echelons embroiled in her story. It is a gripping and reflective story of a woman who embarks on a journey of self-realization and is caught up in the turmoil of powermongers. Lust, jealousy, power-the ancient vices are dominant throughout the story. The book also takes the reader right to the beginning of history when Libya was in its nascent stages, and it also gives the reader an insight into the culture, history, and religion of the people of Libya. This story has stemmed from the experience of the author who is a frequent visitor to the mysterious continent. The author was a professor in English (2008-2009) at Al-Fateh University, Tripoli, Libya. On her second visit to Africa, she visited Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar in 2013. In 2016, she visited Egypt. Most of the incidents/events that are written and recorded in this book happened during these years. She has witnessed, as well as visited, the places mentioned in the book.
