What is the last book that you have read that stuck with you?

Not Without My Daughter by Betty Mahmoody.

It was a re-read; I first read it years ago. It is amazing to me that any intelligent western woman would go to Iran with her child and take the chance she and her child would never go home again. Also, she did it knowing her husband had become radicalized. Her intelligence finally emerged from the back of her mind and she figured out how to escape, a very difficult feat. A riveting story. The sad part is that so many American and western women are in Iran, and they cannot leave. Some of them, like an acquaintance of the author, are being severely abused and mistreated and can do nothing about it. Very sad situation. I commend the author for finally coming to her senses and making her brave escape.
