This is the sequel to "Not without My Daughter," which was the story of how Betty escaped from Iran with her little girl, when her Iranian husband and all his family were watching to prevent her from getting away.

This is an excellent book. It is about the life of Betty Mahmoody after she and her daughter escaped from Iran where they were being held hostage by her husband. This book picks up where the book "Not Without My Daughter" left off. The book also chronicles the struggles of many other women and men who find themselves in similar circumstances. Some of the stories end happily, others do not. It carries a message that is difficult to hear, but should be heard. It is an important read to raise overall awareness as well as to promote positive change to ensure our children's safety and security.
