'Not Without My Daughter' was Betty Mahmoody's true story of a cross cultural marriage gone terrifyingly wrong.
'For the love of a Child' takes up where she left off: at the American Embassy in Turkey after a daring escape from Iran. She describes her cultural readjustment to America, her constant fear of her husband Moody's revenge, and her ultimate frustrations with a legal system that cannot offer protection to her daughter or herself.
But the story is not hers alone. Betty describes her many encounters with others who have tried to escape similar situations, telling their dramatic stories with the sensitivity of one who knows only too well what they've been through and how far they still have to go. A thrilling adventure with a vitally important message.
