For the Love of a Child - Tapa blanda

In 1986, Betty Mahmoody and her daughter made a daring escape from Iran into Turkey and freedom, leaving behind a husband and father who had condemned them to a life of forcible exile. The story of that experience was told in "Not Without My Daughter". In "For The Love of a Child", Betty Mahmoody picks up where she left off, at the American Embassy in Turkey. She describes her cultural readjustment to America, her constant fear of her husband Moody's revenge, and her ultimate frustration with a legal system that cannot offer protection to her daughter or herself. But the story is not hers alone. Betty describes her many encounters with others who have tried to escape similar situations, telling their dramatic stories.
