She flew from her adopted home of Ireland to her birthplace in Iran so her 14-month-old daughter, Rojha, could be introduced to the child's father. When the violent and unstable father refused to allow his daughter to leave and demanded that Samieh renew their relationship, a two-week holiday became a desperate five-year battle to get her daughter out of Iran. If Samieh could not do so before Rojha turned seven, the father could take sole custody—forever. The father's harassment and threats intensified, eventually resulting in an allegation of adultery that was punishable by stoning, but Samieh—a single mother trapped in a country she saw as restricting the freedom and future of her daughter—never gave up, gaining inspiration from other Iranian women facing similar situations. As both the trial for adultery and her daughter's seventh birthday loomed the Irish government was unable to help, leaving Samieh to attempt multiple illegal escapes in an unforgettable, epic journey to freedom. \u003ci\u003eTrapped in Iran\u003c\/i\u003e is the harrowing and emotionally gripping story of how a mother defied a man and a country to win freedom for her daughter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrologue\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 11\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 12\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 13\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 14\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 15\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 16\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 17\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 18\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 19\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 20\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 21\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 22\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 23\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 24\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 25\u003cbr\u003e Epilogue: One Year Later\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52523983536408,"sku":"9780253022530","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/trapped-in-iran-a-mothers-desperate-journey-to-freedom-paperback-softback-9780253022530","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
