Karen, The movie from the husband's point of view is "Without My Daughter". You can purchase it from a website but it is a bit expensive. It has been posted on youtube, though, so you can watch it there as well. Good luck!

I have been married to a Pakistani citizen for 6 years. We now have a beautiful 1 year old daughter together. My husband is expecting to recieve his green card soon and immediately wants to return home to visit the family he hasn't seen in over 10 years. I am terrified that my future will mirror Betty's. I need help. How do I find the resources to protect myself and my daughter?

To Karen Bennett. I guess the book and movie inspired by Moody (Betty's husband)is titled Not With My Daughter, but i am not really sure about that.

I am Nur, I am mother to one child, the child and I were '' trapped'' in an Islamic country for a number of years. It is not a good situation to find oneself in. If you as a woman are currently in this situation then you need to be very level-headed, timeous and strong for your children. Read as much as you can and do not be shy to seek advice from others, don't try to solve the problem alone... it's complicated and you need to be VERY patient.

I first read this story in 1996, when Reader's Digest published it in Mexico in Spanish. I discovered it by chance and I loved it. At that time, as being Mexican, catholic and, I have to admit it, uninterested in foreign politics, I did not know the existing tension between the US and Iran. After reading this book I have reallized we have to open our minds to other cultures and become more tolerant. Keep going, Betty.

Dear Betty,
I am a student at Ovid-Elsie School and I listen to your address last week in Ovid. Now I read down the post of many people. One that stands out is Reza. He asked you to be Honest, Be Honest in capitol letters. My reply to him is to be honest, be honest about what happened to Mona.
Happy Naw-Ruz to you,
Jetanie

The book is Not Without My Daughter, is readily available (look in Amazon) and was made into a movie of the same name, starring Sally Field.

I believe I heard that Moody either published a book or did a movie about their daughter. Does anyone know the title and if it can be purchased or viewed in the US.
Thanks.

Dear Betty,
I listen to you speak on the 25,Wednesday, March, 2009 at the school in Ovid.
Your closing remarks had a good sound bite but I felt in this day and age spiritually bankrupt. How sad just to pray for peace when you could be active in building the peace. Your days in Iran would I think reveal to you the need for the World Order, The Ark of Bahaullah. Be a Baha'i
