Book Description

A young American woman elopes with an Iranian man and moves to his home country. Her dream of living a peaceful life with her young family is destroyed when she finds herself trapped in Teheran, abused by her husband and denied justice by a culture that demeans women. She finds Christ and the courage to escape, but must leave her two sons behind. Exiled in Israel, she experiences love and acceptance within a community of Messianic Jews and American Believers. Yet her mother's heart never stops yearning to be reunited with the sons she left in Iran.

Daughter of Jerusalem.......2003-09-25

Wonderful story giving you the contrast of what dreams of living like a princess such as Princess Nora and what can happen when another one finds herself trapped,abused and denied justice. Her faith heals her each time she is let down and finally wonderful solace and peace at last.

This is the best non-fiction book I have ever read!.......2003-07-20

I was engrossed with the story and admired the author's quest for spiritual growth and the courage she had to face all of the challenges brought before her. It is clear that the author experienced a great deal of anguish being separated from her children. She never wanted for anything material but continued to grow spiritually and the love she had for her sons never dimmed; it was channeled into helping others.

The author described the very complicated political/religous climate of the middle east in concise lucid terms.

I highly recommend this book.

A Free Spirit.......2003-07-19

From reading this book I learned that Sharon is an awsome woman. This book is not just about motherhood and Iran. There is so much more to it. It's a story of relentless courage and real life obstacles.
This is a story about a young girl who follows her heart.
As with all young women, she doesn't always make the best decisions. She learns from her mistakes and persistently
persues her quest.
Dedicated in her search for God, she has many adventures. Some of them good, some of them not. Sharon is able to retain her personal values despite persecutions. She doesn't let the trials and tribulations keep her down.
Throughout Sharons life, she is able to remain true to herself and others. A real keeper of her own convictions. I was inspired by her travels and fearless way of really "living" her life.
An autobiography of a truly strong woman, her experiences and lessons learned. A book that reads well and isn't overly wordy. Ms. Geyer can concisly describe her surroundings in such a way that you could picture it in your mind. A true talent. I couldn't put it down. I look forward to reading more from Sharon Geyer.

A More Balanced View.......2003-06-12

Sharon Geyer was able to write an honest book about being seperated from her children in Iran without drowning the reader in the intense personal struggles she suffered as a mother. Doing this, allows the reader to join Sharon on her journey without adding further guilt and pain to her children who still love both of their parents. This feels like a selfless act of mothering and gives the reader a more balanced view into Sharon Geyer's life.

A story of faith.......2003-06-11

Sharon Geyer's story is as much about her journey of faith as it is about a young woman who heads off to Iran with her new husband and son, her life in Iran, her eventual escape and the pain of leaving her sons behind and her discovery of and love for Jerusalem. I couldn't put it down.
