In the summer of 2009, as she was covering the popular uprisings in Tehran for the New York Times, Iranian journalist Nazila Fathi received a phone call. “They have given your photo to snipers,” a government source warned her. Soon after, with undercover agents closing in, Fathi fled the country with her husband and two children, beginning a life of exile.

Copies of her books will be available for purchase and signing through a special arrangement with Politics and Prose Bookstore with a percentage of the proceeds benefiting Friends of the Library, Bethesda Chapter.
