Synopsis A century of family tales from two beloved but divided homelands, Iran and AmericaDrawing on her remarkable personal history, NPR producer Davar Ardalan brings us the lives of three generations of women and their ordeals with love, rejection, and revolution.

Her American grandmother's love affair with an Iranian physician took her from New York to Iran in Ardalan herself moved from San Francsico to rural Iran in with her Iranian American parents who barely spoke Farsi. After her parents' divorce, Ardalan joined her father in Brookline, Massachusetts, where he had gone to make a new life; however improbably, after high school, Ardalan decided to move back to an Islamic Iran.

When she arrived, she discovered a world she hardly recognized, and one which demands a near-complete renunciation of the freedoms she experienced in the West.
