In 1984, Betty travels with her Iranian husband and young daughter to Tehran for what was meant to be a two-week visit. The stay extends against her will and the family becomes trapped in a hostile environment, with an increasingly violent husband. The account follows the author's struggle to protect her daughter and find a way out.
Translated from English, it was originally published in 1987 as 'Not Without My Daughter'. It is the first instalment of the series of the same title.
Aimed at readers of biographies, memoirs and real-life testimonies, with an interest in survival stories and cultural clash.
Betty Mahmoody is an American author and public speaker. In 1984, during a visit to Iran with her husband and daughter, he refused to let them return to the United States, holding them captive in Iran and subjecting them to constant abuse until she escaped with her daughter to Turkey in 1986. After she and her daughter returned to the US and after her divorce to Moody, she garnered media attention in 1987 when she published Not Without My Daughter, a memoir recounting her captivity in Iran. MGM-Pathé Communications adapted her memoir into a film in 1991.
