Two women. Two revolutions. A lifetime of exile and longing.In 1978, seventeen-year-old Omid is forced to flee Iran on the eve of the Islamic Revolution, leaving behind a mother whose defiance against the regime has made her a marked woman. Arriving in America, Omid believes her stay will be temporary. But when her mother is declared a fugitive, her dreams of return collapse, and she is left to build a life in exile—one shaped by loss, resilience, and the echoes of a past she cannot escape.Three decades later, Omid is a mother raising her daughters in Connecticut, trying to bury the memories of the country she once called home. But when her eldest daughter, Sayeh, is arrested in Tehran amid a new wave of protests, Omid's past and present collide. As Sayeh disappears into the underground resistance, Omid is thrust into the same fear and defiance that once defined her own youth. Spanning two generations of women bound by revolution and exile, Tehran's Daughters is a powerful story of resistance, identity, and the unbreakable ties between mothers and daughters.Echoes of ResistanceThe Price of FreedomPreviously published as Omid's Shadow
