    Mahtob Mahmoody er fire år, da hun i 1984 rejser med sine forældre på ferie til faderens hjemland, Iran. Hverken Mahtob eller hendes mor, Betty, har nogen anelse om, at faderen har helt andre planer med rejsen – og dem – end blot et to ugers familiebesøg i Teheran. Mor og datter ender reelt som fanger i det præstestyrede land, skarpt overvåget af faderens fami­lie.Efter 18 måneder lykkes det dem endelig at flygte hjem til USA, men her slutter mareridtet ikke. Nok er de undsluppet faderen, men de er ikke frie. Konstant frygter de, at han skal gøre alvor af sine trusler: At kidnappe Mahtob og slå mode­ren ihjel.Forfulgt er en rystende beretning om at leve et liv i evig frygt. Gennem datterens knivskarpe erindringer forstår vi, hvor høj en pris, et barn må betale; også længe efter, at hun er blevet voksen. Det er samtidig en historie om kærlighed, der er tæt på at blive til had – og om den svære kunst at tilgive, så man endelig kan leve som et frit menneske.

  • - The Story that Began in the Global Phenomenon Not Without My Daughter Continues
    by Mahtob Mahmoody
    £11.99

    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
