Description
Betty Mahmoody's harrowing account of her experiences in Iran is a powerful and thought-provoking story of survival and defiance. In 1977, she and her husband, Dr Sayyed Bozorg Mahmoody, moved to Iran with their four-year-old daughter, Mahtob, to meet his family. However, the couple soon found themselves trapped in a culture that was hostile to Western values and brutally oppressive to women. As Betty struggled to cope with the harsh realities of her new life, she became determined to escape and return to the United States. But her husband and his family would not let her go, and she was forced to navigate a treacherous web of deceit and danger to protect herself and her daughter. This is a gripping and unflinching account of one woman's fight for freedom and survival in a country that seemed determined to crush her spirit.
