These types of "true story of me" situations should never go public. This is a very personal matter and it simply makes all Middle Easterners look bad the way you are making it a Hollywood frenzy. There is no need to start all these organizations and writing books. On a more positive note; the same situation happened to me back in 1996 and my mom was a brave soul, as were you. My mom and siblings have absolutely no grudges towards my dad and we all love him very much and visit the Middle East one or twice a year. Mahtob should have kept in contact with her father because he loves her. He went to Finland to meet her for God sakes (according to a documentary), and she never showed up.

I am a mom to 3 children in the United States and am having trouble with their father. He has had coustody since 2004 and now for 7 years he has cut me having off any contact to them. They are 12yrs 11yrs and 10 yrs. Two girls one boy.He changed phone number and address leaving me without contact for 7yrs. There is an order stating I am alowed to contact them 2 times a week and he has disabled that order. He is an Iraqi Refugee here in the US and I met him 14yrs ago 2013. I know a name and birthday for him and seen he has Refugee paperwork and a green card from the US and I went with him to US nutrilization office but he lost contact with me since then and I do not know if he recived his citizenship. I am trying to find the 4 of them and it is hard to communicate when I have found him witout the children. If anyone can help in this matter with information other then seeking coustody. As I have no address or phone#.

Dear Mrs. Mahmoody,
I am in an English class called Woman as Hero at California University of Pennsylvania. We were told to seek someone we see as a hero interview them and do a presentation on why we believe they are a hero. I was wondering if there is anyway I can interview you via emial, telephone, or in person if you are in the area of Pennsylvania. I would really appreciate the oppurtunity to be able to hear your story from you. Hope to hear from you.

Dear Betty, I wonder if there is a need for a 'safe place' for women while they are either trying to escape as you did, or need a place to care for their children while going through the court system. I know of a large house that would fill the need. Please let me know if there is a need for this kind of place. Sincerely, JayneMiner

I am postgraduate in English Literature read a large number of books in last three decades . This one by Betty is one of the best and most memorable of all of then. Really, a big salute to her motherly instincts, never say die spirit,love for justice and equality and the moral duty to expose wrong doing rampant in humanity at many places.Thanks Betty, thanks a lot.

My daughter got out of Middle East - after a long battle. She went to the US Embassy with her four children. They refused to help-actually said they were not getting involved. She finally arrived here two years ago with help from individuals who realized and knew that children should never experience trauma in their lives. The excape was made possible by those who put their careers in jeopardy and by a lawyer who took the case because she has a heart of gold in addition to being an asset to the legal world. There are many cases out there - unfortunately many of the women are so severely controlled and brainwashed that it's like moving a mountain until she finally sees the light (sometimes too late).

First I have seen the film in german and recently read the book.I think that Mrs. mahmoody has not been unbiased toward Iranian society. The time that the story is running we were living in tabriz and we were not as rich as moody's family but the standard of living and the form of eating food was very different from Mrs. mahmoody's description . I have been working sometimes at houses which were similar yo moody's and I can say that the were all western style .

I am a student in Grand Rapids and I am doing a project in my English class about sacrifices for Love. Is there any way I could interview you for my project? I would be willing to meet you wherever you reside if you were to accept the interview. Thank you
