In August 1984 Michigan housewife Betty Mahmoody accompanited her husband to his native Iran for a two-week vacation . To her horror, he refused to let her and her four-year old daughter,Mahtob, return home. Here is the true story of a courageous wife and mother trapped in an alien country where women are nearslaves, Americans are heted, and the only way out was through a dangerous undergrand that would not take her child. If you like a good true story book this is a very good one to read.
