One More Mountain

<p>This book is the inspirational true story of young man willing to risk it all.</p><p>Since the Islamic Revolution began in 1979 millions of Iranians have fled to Turkey seeking refuge from religious and political persecution. In 1988 I was one of them.</p><p>My family are followers of the Baha'i Faith a religion founded in Iran and practiced by millions of people worldwide today. Muslims in Iran consider it a blasphemous illegitimate religion. For more than four decades Baha'is in Iran have been stripped of all human rights. We are routinely arrested detained tortured imprisoned and executed without cause.</p><p>This is my story about what life was like living under Islamic rule. It's a story about determination perseverance and Faith.</p><p>I was 25 when I fled Iran with two friends. We crossed the forbidding Zagros Mountains in the height of winter seeking asylum in Turkey. More than a year later I arrived in America speaking little English knowing no one and understanding little about the country except what I gleaned from television.</p><p><em>One More Mountain</em> provides a never-before-seen look at what life in Iran is still like for those who have no power no voice and no freedoms.</p>
