Rating:  - Deserves to be read
NOT WITHOUT MY DAUGHTER mesmerized me when I read it, soon after its release. I didn't know until I came across FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD, quite by accident, that Betty Mahmoody had written a second book. This one continues her story, and that of her daughter, Mahtob. It also tells the stories of other parents whose children have been kidnapped by partners who fled to other countries, and most don't end as happily as that of Betty and Mahtob. Hope is its theme, nevertheless. Although the chapters that ... Read More
Rating:  - Betty Mahmoody is a pioneer for domestic/international/kidnapping rights
I purchased a used copy of this book and was very surprised to see a "discarded" stamp on it. This is the continuing story of Betty Mahmoody and her daughter Mahtob. Both miraculously escaped the abuse, beatings, and imprisonment of Betty's husband from desolate Iran. It was (and still is) impossible for any women to leave Iran (or any Islamic State in the Middle East) with her child without her husband's explicit permission that is why Betty's story is so enthralling and riveting. When she returned ... Read More
Rating: - This is an excellent follow-up to "Not Without My Daughter"
If it's possible, I found this book even better than it's predecessor.
Betty and Mahtob are now back in America, but Betty is still in fear that Mahtob will be abducted.

This perhaps was the most surprising aspect of this book, that children are abducted and taken to countries by ... Read More

The second book published by Betty is also book worth reading. It her first book "Not without my daughter" she writes about how she was tricked by her Iranian husband to visit Iran. She and her daughter are then forced to stay there for ever, fortunately by new-made friends and a strong fighting spirit, both flee Iran.
In this second book we get to know how Betty re-integrates into the American society after years of forced assimilation in Iran. The book is about her writing the first book, ... Read More
Rating: - shocked
this is just quickly as a response for "reader from new york".
quite honestly i was shocked with your response to a book about a woman who was held captive by her husband in a foreign country, along with her daughter.
you obviously have no idea what it's like to worry about being kidnapped by your parent\husband.
i know that if i was in mahtob's place id be afraid of meeting one on one with my father, and wouldnt be planning to anytime soon.
