Growing up in Tehran in the 1970s  Afschineh Latifi and her sister and two brothers enjoyed a life of luxury and privilege. Their father  a selfmade man  had worked his way up from nothing to become a colonel in the Shahs army  and their mother  a woman of equally modest roots  had made a career for herself as a respected schoolteacher. But in February  1979  Colonel Latifi was arrested by members of the newly installed Khomeini regime  and publicly pilloried as an \"Enemy of God.\" Some months later  after having been shunted from one prison cell to another  and without benefit of a legitimate trial  Colonel Latifi was summarily executed. Fearing for the safety of her children  Mrs. Latifi made a wrenching decision: to send her daughters  ages ten and eleven  to the west  splitting up the family until they could safely reunite. Out on their own  Afschineh and her sister  Afsaneh  were forced to become strong young women before theyd even had a childhood. Even After All This Time is a story of hope and heartache  a story of a family torn apart for six harrowing years  and finally coming together to rebuild in America. In the richly evocative tradition of the bestselling Reading Lolita in Tehran  this is a story of a family that had the courage to dream impossible dreams and to make them come true against impossible odds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648346578997,"sku":"ByrdShop_0060745339","price":20.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780060745332.jpg?v=1781716602","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/even-after-all-this-time-a-story-of-love-revolution-and-leaving-iran-9780060745332","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
