Come to the Expo and hear the powerful and compelling story behind the Pulitzer Prize nominated, best selling book, Not Without My Daughter.
The story of a Michigan housewife trapped in an openly hostile and alien culture, with the odds stacked against her - first as a woman in a land where women have no rights, and second as an American at a time when Americans were despised.
In August of 1984, Betty Mahmoody
went to Iran with her husband and four-year-old daughter, on a two-week
trip to visit his family in Teheran. However, once the two weeks were
over, he refused to allow them to leave. Betty and her daughter became
virtual prisoners of a man who had rededicated himself to the Shiite Moslem
faith. Thus began an 18-month tour of terror in which Mahmoody lived in
fear of her husband and secretly plotted her escape to freedom.
Hear all about her daring 500-mile escape across the mountains on horseback and on foot into Turkey. It is a compelling adventure and gripping account of an ordinary woman's extraordinary courage.
Mahmoody's
story is one of hope, courage, resourcefulness and action. She has appeared
on numerous television talk shows - including 20/20 with Barbara Walters,
Larry King, Donahue, Oprah Winfrey, and Sally Jesse Raphael, among countless
other national and international radio shows. Her story, Not Without My
Daughter, has been adapted to a recently released feature film starring
Academy Award winning actress, Sally Field.
