Book trapped in a book game I found the first half of this book frustrating Everyone makes mistakes but this naive woman just didn t seem to learn from her mistakes Time and time again she allowed herself to be lied to and to be scammed I felt sad for her parents who kept warning her and supported her through difficult times even though they were struggling themselves Fortunately Samieh increasingly standed up for herself as far as Iranian culture allows and eventually escapes English In 2009 Samieh Hezari made a terrible mistake She flew from her adopted home of Ireland to her birthplace in Iran so her 14 month old daughter Rojha could be introduced to the child s father When the violent and unstable father refused to allow his daughter to leave and demanded that Samieh renew their relationship a two week holiday became a desperate five year battle to get her daughter out of Iran If Samieh could not do so before Rojha turned seven the father could take sole custody forever The father s harassment and threats intensified eventually resulting in an allegation of adultery that was punishable by stoning but Samieh a single mother trapped in a country she saw as restricting the freedom and future of her daughter never gave up gaining inspiration from other Iranian women facing similar situations As both the trial for adultery and her daughter s seventh birthday loomed the Irish government was unable to help leaving Samieh to attempt multiple illegal escapes in an unforgettable epic journey to freedom Trapped in Iran is the harrowing and emotionally gripping story of how a mother defied a man and a country to win freedom for her daughter Trapped in Iran A Mother s Desperate Journey to FreedomI received an Advanced Readers copy of this book through the Goodreads Giveaway program It is very well written and really makes the reader feel for Ms Hezari and her children The book chronicles the five year struggle by Ms Hezari in trying to escape Iran with her daughter facing incredible odds while dealing with unscrupulous people geographic terrain and hostile neighboring countries I had two distinct emotions while reading this book During the first part of the book I was extremely disappointed in Ms Hezari s choices which she herself questions frequently including relationships people she trusted and doing things she wasn t comfortable with However by the second half of the book my feelings turned toward compassion for her plight She deals with multiple individuals who don t come through for her at great personal and financial expense receives no support from a neighboring country and well written Like a few other new discoveries I had gathered this too at the Book Expo this year and once started reading it it became a page turner. Trapped in rannis rise Thanks for the copy to Book Expo and the author English What a contrast In America some people claim there is a war on women if taxpayer funded birth control is taken away not access to birth control just having it paid for by taxpayers Compare that with this author s story where in Iran and other countries with Muslim controlled and other male dominated societies she could be jailed for simple things we take for granted For example a women cannot travel unless accompanied by a husband or male relative They are restricted for work to jobs where there is no contact with males The author had left Iran and had been enjoying having simple freedoms in her adopted country of Ireland She became trapped in Iran on a visit to see her parents when an ex husband took passports away from her and her child as a sick form of revenge Every woman should read this and then see where they think the real war on women is taking place What an eye opener Also well written and hard to put down English site_link post a comment.
