This eye-opening essay is about how the Iranian regime has controlled and destroyed its own people and nation. It tells about the history of the Iranian revolution, when it started and why, and the dire conditions the Iranian people have survived.
But Afarin Rava doesn’t stop there, she provides ways for us to make a difference. She reminds us of the dangers of staying silent and gives voice to our fears and concerns.
She not only shows the reader how small the world is, but also shows us how when one of us suffers, we all suffer. We must do better. This powerful story is a start.
This is powerful, authentic and eloquent. Afarin Rava is a writer exercising her power to expose the truth in the only way she can – through her words. Her mission is to ‘shake the world awake.’ She is right. We sit in our homes listening to soundbites of news, reading media headlines, and remain ignorant. I felt every word. I heard the pain in her voice. Everyone should read this.
