This book is phenominal. Reading along you fall into the life of Betty Mahmoody, a happily married American woman. The big difference from many others is Betty is married to an Iranian man. She thinks he is totally Americanized.
On a "vacation" to Tehran Betty finds herself hostage to a husband she suddenly doesn't really know and a country whos beliefs are very different. Marriage to an Iranian makes you in Iranian by the laws in Iran.
The story tells of the risks and courage Betty showed to escape her husband and Iran with her daughter.
It was quite an eye opener. We not only learn about Betty and her daughter Mahtob, but we realize how fragile our rights as Americans can be.
