Tehran, 1981. Three years after the Islamic revolution, Layla Bahari returns to her father's homeland to marry the man she always loved -- and to defy the dire omen of a blind old fortune-teller that love may be no match for tyranny. Indeed, in the harsh new Iran of the Ayatollahs, Layla treads on dangerous ground. Within days, her husband is abducted and sent to the fiery Irani-Iraqi front. Now alone, she faces arrest, captivity, and torture. This is Layla's tale, the thrilling story of one woman's desperate flight for freedom and her valiant fight for love.
