A profound and moving account of the author's experience growing up in Iran in the wake of the 1979 revolution. The narrative differs from other books on the subject in that she was imprisoned at age 18 on trumpted-up political charges. Nastaran offers a dramatic retelling of her childhood, and events leading up to, during and after her brutal captivity. She also recounts the mesmerizing stories told by her grandmother, Bibi, and a special bond she developed with her broher, Mohammed, who was on death row for his political beliefs. A spectacular story of struggle and survival, readers will gain a deeper understanding of a country and its people that many in the West know very little about.
