    I Didn’t Survive: A True Story

    This is a book full of contradictions. It is easy to read, but at one point I involuntarily needed to stop reading because it was so difficult to read. In a Note to the Reader, the publisher advises ‘discretion in reading certain passages, particularly if you have suffered any form of abuse in the past.’ This is an account of love and cruelty, faithfulness and deception, sacrificial and self-serving attitudes, idolatry and obedience, and life in Iran and America. It tells of the amazing power of God, and of his mysteries that we will not fully understand in this life.

    The book is the story of Naghmeh who was born with her twin brother in Tehran to loving Muslim parents. This was 2 years before the Iranian Revolution in which her parents supported different sides and 3 years before the Iran-Iraq war. Naghmeh relates the effects of the imposition of Sharia law for women and what it is like to be a child caught up in a war, especially for her brother.

      It's hard enough having a painful secret that you are terrified of sharing. It's even harder when you find yourself in the international limelight as the advocate wife of a Christian hero imprisoned for his faith.
