My Name Is Mahtob: The Story That Began the Global Phenomenon Not Without My Daughter Continues by Mahtob Mahmoody

4.0

Remember the book "Not Without My Daughter" by Betty Mahmoody? This new book is written by Betty's daughter Mahtob, and is the recounting of their escape from Iran after being taken there under false pretenses by Betty's husband Sayyed Mahmoody. This is a very quick read, but don't discount quick as being fluff. Mahtob's emotional journey did not end when her and her mother came home to America. They were constantly on guard against being re-abducted and the fear was real. She was followed, had her several of her homes broken into and went so far as to register at Michigan State University under an assumed name. Who knew that reading a memoir could be so suspenseful.
