Mahmoody's husband is an Iranian doctor, seemingly Americanized after twenty years in the United States. Back in his native country, however, and under the influence of his Muslim relatives, the doctor suddenly and wholeheartedly embraces the tenets of Islamic fundamentalism. He forces his wife to wear a veil, informs her that they are never returning to the United States and threatens to kill her when she tries to escape. Stripped of her rights and her American citizenship, Mahmoody finds herself a prisoner in an alien and hostile society and must risk her life to smuggle herself and her four-year-old daughter out of Iran.
