The daughter at the center of the international bestseller Not Without My Daughter completes her story: escaping from Iran, growing up in fear, battling deadly disease, and learning to forgive.

Two decades ago, millions of readers worldwide thrilled to the story told in the international bestseller Not Without My Daughter—subsequently made into a film starring Sally Field—that told of an American mother and her six-year-old child’s daring escape from an abusive and tyrannical Iranian husband and father. Now the daughter returns to tell the whole story, not only of that imprisonment and escape but of life after fleeing Tehran: living in fear of re-abduction, enduring recurring nightmares and panic attacks, attending school under a false name, battling life-threatening illness—all under the menacing shadow of her father.

This is the story of an extraordinary young woman’s triumph over life-crushing trauma to build a life of peace and forgiveness. Taking readers from Michigan to Iran and from Ankara, Turkey, to Paris, France, My Name Is Mahtob depicts the profound resilience of a wounded soul healed by faith in God’s goodness and in his care and love. And Mahmoody reveals the secret of how she liberated herself from a life of fear, learning to forgive the father who had shattered her life and discovering joy and peace that comes from doing so.

Quite religion related

Reviewed in Australia on 16 December 2020

Verified Purchase

Great writing and insightful but whole chapters dove into religion and for an atheist, I didn't find that interesting at all. I would happily skip whole chapters (but I didn't). Religion does play a role in the story as a whole so it is imperative religion be touched upon but not used to bulk up the book.

Interesting book

Reviewed in the United States on 18 August 2023

Verified Purchase

I bought this for a gift, but decided to read it before giving it away. I read the book by her mother "Not Without My Daughter". It was interesting to learn the perspective of the child involved in such a traumatic experience, and how it changed her life forever.

Painful, poetic, redemptive, good reading for anyone who has been betrayed

Reviewed in Canada on 27 September 2021

Verified Purchase

I came across this while searching for current news of Betty and Mahtob Mahmoody, after recently re-watching the remarkable movie "Not Without My Daughter". Mahtob has written a memoir that is historically interesting, but most of all it’s a valuable journal for anyone who has been betrayed, stalked, or otherwise traumatised by someone they loved and trusted. The author’s journey covers a richly varied tapestry of life: the horror of experiencing her kind dad morphing into a monster; the complexity, joys and pains of deep family ties; the beauty of her Persian heritage that she has embraced through almost unbearable trauma; the quietly told but sinister suspense thread of being stalked by her father and his minions; the clear-eyed love and respect she has for her courageous mother—all held together and underpinned by her sturdy and practical Christian faith. Mahtob never preaches; she merely expresses through her words and actions the great value of knowing and loving Jesus the Saviour, in this life and for eternity. One thing in the book would almost have made me laugh if it weren’t so deadly serious: as a psychology major looking at her father through professional glasses, Mahtob writes: “I was sad that this man had let his dysfunction rule his life.” She sees him as someone with “Narcissistic Personality Disorder”, but by all accounts he was just a Muslim man faithfully following the teachings of Muhammad, the Quran, and the Sira (as the West has begun to learn, though seemingly not understand, in the decades since Betty and Mahtob were able to escape from the brutality of Ayatollah Khomeini’s regime in the Islamic Republic of Iran). Ultimately, this is a memoir of personal redemption and forgiveness, which includes still seeing evil as evil, and fighting it in the only way possible, not with weapons or retaliation but with the love, mercy, and grace of Jesus. Mahtob beautifully uses the analogy of the rich Persian carpets of her heritage to draw together all the threads of her life. She relates them to a poem which expresses how the “dark threads” (of sorrow) are as necessary as the “threads of gold and silver” that God uses to weave the tapestry of our lives. This is a story that celebrates the value, the joy, and the wonder of life—all things we desperately need in this world today.

What ever happened to ..

Reviewed in the United States on 22 March 2023

Verified Purchase

I've wondered for years what happened to Mahtob. The story follows the thriller Not Without My Daughter. This book is not a thriller but how they lived in the aftermath of the former experience, the ongoing threats, and the mental work to put it in the rearview mirror

Quite a woman!

Reviewed in the United States on 27 November 2022

Verified Purchase

Regardless of what one thinks of the writing style, one could hardly call the story of this woman’s life boring! She doesn’t try to put herself out as an author, simply an every day person sharing an extremely traumatic story. Any sensitive , feeling person would have to sympathize with what she has gone through. Although they considered going into hiding they never did. In fact they did the opposite.The same grit that made Betty and Mahtob survive and escape, motivated them— after they returned to America— to face down the fears, expose what happened to them, and fight through legal and political channels to save others from falling into the same fate. One has to admire this courage. I, like others, I’m not sure I could have done the same. I particularly like Mahtob’s message about the meaning of forgiveness. Forgiveness doesn’t mean excusing or minimizing the abuse. It means calling it what it is, putting protective boundaries between yourself and the abuser, while releasing yourself from hatred and bitterness that not only destroys a persons health and well-being, but allows the abuser to continue to control them. Well done, Mahtob!

A Life of Fear

Reviewed in the United States on 15 January 2023

Verified Purchase

I remember reading the book Not Without My Daughter and watching the movie as well. I was so glad they had been able to escape but as the book My Name is Mahtob tells the story of continuing fear of the father and his relatives coming to kidnap the girl and take her back to Iran. The story she tells us is how she and her mother struggled to overcome this fear and go on to live their lives despite the continued campaign of terror waged by that monster.
