Plot

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.
