My Name is Mahtob
Two decades ago, Not Without My Daughter (a global phenomenon made into a film starring Sally Field) told of the daring escape of an American mother and her six-year-old child from an abusive and fanatical Iranian husband and father. Now the daughter tells the whole story, not only of her imprisonment and escape but of life after fleeing Iran: living in fear of re-abduction, battling recurring nightmares and panic attacks, taking on an assumed name, surviving life-threatening illness-all under the menacing shadow of her father. This is the story of an extraordinary young woman's triumph over life-crushing trauma to build a life of peace and forgiveness. Moving from Michigan to Tehran, from Ankara to Paris, Mahtob reveals the profound resilience of a wounded soul healed by her faith in God's goodness and his care and love for her
Not Without My Daughter
The true story of Betty Mahmoody's escape from Iran with her daughter after her Iranian husband attempted to turn a two-week vacation into a permanent relocation and a life of subservience for Betty and her daughter.
Lost Without My Daughter
In 1987, American housewife Betty Mahmoody published Not Without My Daughter, which became a sensation. In the book, Betty claimed that she and Mahtob, her five-year-old daughter, had been kidnapped from the USA in 1984 and imprisoned in Tehran by her Iranian husband, Dr Sayed Mahmoody - aka 'Moody' - a man she vilified as a violent, sadistic monster. Betty's story culminated with a dramatic escape, as she takes her daughter from Iran over the Zagros Mountains and into Turkey. The book sold 12 million copies and inspired the 1991 Hollywood film of the same name, starring Oscar-winner Sally Field. For twenty years Betty's husband has kept silent. Now, in Lost Without My Daughter, Sayed Mahmoody finally reveals the astonishing truth. As well as being a moving, frank story of a once happy family's collapse, and a father's subsequent search for meaning in his life, Lost Without My Daughter is also a cultural and political history of Iran, from the revolution to the present day. Perhaps more than anything, it is an exercise in truth, the last-ditch attempt of a father desperate to reach his daughter, to let her know that he is not the monster he has been portrayed to be.
Numele meu este Mahtob
În 1987, Betty Mahmoody publica o carte ce avea să devină bestseller internațional, Not Without My Daughter (Nu fără fiica mea), în care relata experiența terifiantă trăită după ce și-a urmat soțul iranian în țara natală a acestuia, unde a fost apoi ținută prizonieră împreună cu fiica sa în vârstă de patru ani. După aproape treizeci de ani, fiica, Mahtob Mahmoody, completează povestea. Numele meu este Mahtob nu e doar șirul de întâmplări trăite sub imperiul captivității și al fricii în Iran, ci și istoria urmărilor pe care această experiență le-a avut. Întoarsă în America după ce a reușit să evadeze împreună cu mama sa, Mahtob trăiește cu spaima de a fi răpită din nou, are coșmaruri repetate și la școală este înscrisă sub un nume fals, amenințată în fiece clipă de umbra tatălui. Numele meu este Mahtob e povestea unei tinere puternice care, în ciuda experiențelor prin care a trecut și a unei boli ce îi pune viața în pericol, reușește să răzbată, să găsească puterea de a-și ierta tatăl abuziv, redobândindu-și astfel pacea și bucuria de a trăi.

Sold
Zana Muhsen, born and bred in Birmingham, is of Yemeni origin. When her father told her she was to spend a holiday with relatives in North Yemen, she jumped at the chance. Aged 15 and 13 respectively, Zana and her sister discovered that they had been literally sold into marriage, and that on their arrival they were virtually prisoners. They had to adapt to a completely alien way of life, with no running water, dung-plastered walls, frequent beatings, and the ordeal of childbirth on bare floors with only old women in attendance. After eight years of misery and humiliation Zana succeeded in escaping, but her sister is still there, and it seems likely that she will now never leave the country where she has spent more than half her life. This is an updated edition of Zana's account of her experiences.
Mi nombre es Mahtob
«Este libro ha sido un hermoso regalo para mí. Ya no tengo que cargar con el recuerdo del dolor y la angustia de mi pasado que he llevado conmigo todos estos años. Al dejar mi bolígrafo, por decirlo así, aparto de mí esos detalles. Libero mi mente y mi corazón del deber de recordar. Tamoom… Se acabó. Ha dejado de perseguirme. Ahora, soy libre». Mahtob Mahmoody Hace dos décadas, millones de lectores en todo el mundo se vieron cautivados por la increíble historia narrada en el bestseller No sin mi hija ―convertido luego en película protagonizada por Sally Field―, la epopeya de una mujer americana, madre de una niña de seis años, que tuvo que huir de un esposo iraní, tirán...
