The reason for writing this book

The reason for writing this book:

In fact, this is my first book, and I’m not a professional writer. Literature and people have always been the passion of my life. I wrote some short novels and poetries, but never published them.
However, the honest reason for writing the story of my life the emotional shock I experienced when visiting my homeland. In 2007 when I returned to Iran, after nearly thirty years, the complete change of lifestyle and the outlandish society hit me hard emotionally. Writing down my observations and comparing my country’s past to the present time, was the only thing that could calm me down. When I returned to the U.S., I decided to put together all of my notes, memories, emotions, and experiences.
My purpose of publishing this book was to give a glimpse of reality, concerning the situation of a country govern by the Islamic Regime. My goal is to reach everybody, in particular the young Iranian-American generation, in order to understand why their parents and millions of other Iranians left and still leave the country, in pursuit of freedom and simply a normal life.
