A very moving book.

This is, without a doubt, one of the best books I've ever read. This is the true story of Betty Mahmoody and her daughter, Americans who went to Iran with Betty's husband and once there were held hostage. Their story of endurance, brutality, perseverence, faith, strength and courage is the most inspiring I've ever read. This book is a must read!

Wow This book was impossible to put down.

To her horror, she found herself and her 4 year old daughter, Mahtob, virtual prisoners of a man rededicated to his Shiite Moselm faith, in a lnad where women were near-slaves and Americans were despised. Their only hope for escape lay in a dangerous underground that would not take her child.
