«No sin mi hija» is the autobiographical account by Betty Mahmoody and William Hoffer, published by Seix Barral in paperback (319 pages, in Spanish).
Betty Mahmoody, an American married to an Iranian doctor, travels with her daughter to Tehran in 1984 and discovers that her husband has decided to stay there. In a country where the law grants custody to the father, the author narrates her resistance and a risky escape to return to the United States.
Originally published in 1987 as «Not Without My Daughter»; it is the first installment of that series. The film by Brian Gilbert, starring Sally Field, is based on the book.
Work aimed at readers of memoirs and real-life testimonies, and at those seeking stories about the situation of women in Iran.
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.
