During your journey God helped you a lot, the same way i am getting God's messages for me through you and your book which gives me a courage to live life independently without fear and with courage. Thank You so much for the book and your message for me. God bless you and your sweet and strong doughter. Take care, Bye. With love and light.
Noosa posts on 9/3/2008 11:57:13 AM I hope I could get to meet Betty and Mahtob in person. I am a Christian who was born and raised in Egypt, which is a muslim country. My biggest dream since I was a little girl was to leave and come to the USA. When I was 16, a muslim neighbor told my father that when I am old enough to marry that he was going to kidnap me and his son was going to marry me and I was going to be a muslim. However, my dad would never allow that to happen. As a result, he sent me away to live in the USA and to go to an American college. I was so happy to go come to the US and I love it here a whole lot. Eventhough sometimes I get homesick and miss my family and I visit them from time to time, I am so happy to be in the USA where I am free to live a happy safe life that I can build for myself. I have watch the movie "Not without my daughter" and read the book. It is very couragious what you did to get you and your daughter out of Iran and getting your freedom back. I admire you both and I wish to meet you someday. I admire anyone who is strong and couragious. You did the right thing to protect your daughter.

On A Mission posts on 8/21/2008 12:03:24 AM I am an American woman, but lived in Tehran for several years as a teenager. I was there during the mid to late 70's while the shaw was still in power. This book really pulled at my heart strings, because I knew so many people there before the revolution that I wonder about all the time. Did they ever get out, and how? Anyway, I feel the book was honestly written, keeping in mind that it was both about some fanatic Iranians, but also some extremely decent ones, too. I wish I could read the original version of the book, before it was rewritten.
AMJSB posts on 8/7/2008 5:58:05 PM I just read this book , I was so taken by it that I actually started this morning and finished it now (6 hours later). I am a half foreign half arab (christian). But in our family we have all sorts from shiites sunnis greek orthodox catholics etc..and when we sit on one table for a meal we are one ! This book doesnt justify all Iranians or all Muslims.( half of my family married wonderful iranians)BUT It does justify all fanatics of any sort of religion. But again , Betty's luck was that her husbands insecurities, financial situation and influence brought the monster in him and I think it was an excellent story and very courageous of her..and Mahtob

married to Saudi posts on 7/16/2008 10:17:49 PM Interested in knowing if you change your name can someone just find out if youve changed your name and get the new one Is it legal in the states for her to be holding the child without permission from the father? I think if I brought my son to Canada that even the Canadian government would need me to have permission to enter if I got that far?
bla posts on 7/15/2008 4:46:33 AM After they came in the USA, Betty and Mahtab changed their names and moved away. Thats how they're hiding.
Jane posts on 7/10/2008 10:18:07 PM I was married to an Arab Muslim also. I live a life on the run in the US to keep my children from being sent overseas. Trying to hide in the US today is almost impossible. What did Betty do when she got home? Did she live a particular way to keep safe? I can't read her book... it makes me anxious.
