In a last-ditch effort, the State Department, under the direction of Assistant Director, Jim Peterson, implements some cultural and social programs, in an effort to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people, thereby easing the political tension.
One of these programs is a western-style school for girls and women that offer English, computer and business skills, as well as art and literature.

Jim asks a former State Department employee’s daughter, Reanna Malloy, an expert in Mideast language and culture, to head the school.
However, Jim has other reasons for choosing Reanna; she also happens to be a nationally ranked equestrian.
Uday Hussein, Saddam’s eldest son, is in charge of the royal stables. He is a renowned owner and breeder of some of the most valuable horses in the world. It is also believed, by US intelligence, that Uday is in charge of the WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction) and, in fact, many reports indicate that some are stored in the palace stables.
As a favor to Jim Peterson, Colin McLeod, former Navy SEAL, now reluctant CEO of his family’s oil business, agrees to one last government assignment: to protect Reanna Malloy and help her gain access to the royal stables, in order to see if it’s possible for WMDs to be hidden there.
Set against the backdrop of the months leading up to the Iraqi War and into the War, Reanna and Colin try but fail to fight off their attraction to each other as it explodes into a beautiful and lusty love affair.
Together, they try their best to stave off a war and in the process, get caught up in the sanguinary politics between the US and Iraq, leaving them, like the countries, scarred and torn apart.
Will they be able to heal their wounds and find their way back into each other’s arms?
Author, Patricia A. Chenoweth lives in Barnegat, New Jersey, where she currently owns and operates Hidden Creek Farm, living out her passion as an equestrian by training, boarding and breeding horses. Before starting this endeavor ten years ago, Patricia was a high school social studies teacher for thirty-two years, during which time, she engaged in the hobbies that would eventually lead her to write her debut book; Saddam’s Horses.
Patricia started writing three years ago, having been inspired to write Saddam’s Horses years earlier, after watching a news broadcast in late 2004, that showed Iraqi men leading horses out of the Palace stable. When the newscaster reported that the horses, some of the most valuable in the world, would probably end up on the dinner plate that night, Patricia was horrified.
So, after mourning the fate of those poor, beautiful horses for the rest of the evening, that night, Patricia dreamt of a different ending for the horses; a happy ending. Saddam’s Horses is carefully constructed to tell that story.
When Patricia isn’t writing or tending to the horse inhabitants on her ranch, Patricia enjoys riding her horses, one of which, Xeena, is featured on the cover of Saddam’s Horses, reading, traveling, spending time with friends and cooking.
