Overview:

This riveting story of Naghmeh Abedini Panahi will inspire readers as they read of the author’s life in Iran and here in the states. Coming to Christ at a young age, Panahi had a strong desire to tell others about Christ, to evangelize. When she met Saeed Abedini, she felt as if her future was set and perfect, together sharing their love for Jesus. When Saeed is imprisoned in Iran for his Christian faith, Naghmeh unfailingly advocates fir his release.

But the back story to all this is the personal life of Saeed and Naghmeh and the abuse, physical and psychological, that Saeed has perpetrated upon his wife. This is a compelling story, hard to put down, one that will stay with you long after the last page.
