This is a story of a bride and her husband who must flee Iran because they are Christians. The memoir begins with Mina learning of Christianity and then a friend is arrested, tortured, and killed for distributing Christian pamphlets in Iran. Mira and her husband, Navid, flee to Turkey, then Spain, the The Netherlands, and finally Washington, DC. The story is interesting and disturbing, but I am uneasy with all the miracles that take place. The story shows that as Americans, we tend to take for granted our various freedoms.
