Product Info ALL FOR MY CHILDREN is the unforgettable true story of how one Australian mother's fairy tale life fractured in the instant she kissed her kids goodbye. On Saturday, 9 May 2015, Sally Faulkner hugged her children as they left for holiday to Beirut with their father, Ali Elamine. Though Sally and Ali were separated, custody of two-year-old Noah and four-year-old Lahela had never been an issue. The kids lived with Sally in Australia and their dad often visited from his home in Beirut. To Sally, everything seemed fine. Twenty-four hours after that farewell, Ali told Sally. 'The kids aren't coming back.'  When her husband refused to return their children, and the Australian government and Lebanese justice system couldn't help, Sally Faulkner flew across the world with a television news crew to try and bring them home herself. Waking in a Beirut prison cell handcuffed to a 60 Minutes television reporter, and being forced to relinquish custody in Lebanon to gain her freedom, Sally couldn't help asking herself ... how did I get here?Looking back, a 21-year-old Sally had scored her dream life, as an Emirates flight attendant. She travelled to exotic places, met some amazing people and was dazzled by a world far removed from the suburbs of Brisbane. Then, she met Ali, charming, sophisticated, who she thought was the perfect man, married him and had the children she'd always hoped for. But that dream life didn't last.
