Incredible. What Grace she shows in writing about her situation. I would never have been able to show such forgiveness and humanity toward someone who had hurt me so much. Ali is a bit of an Anakin Skywalker type character - a basically good person who allows himself to be turned to a monster through hate and the desire for revenge. Ms. Nemat is writing a follow up book and I hope she is able to answer some of the questions her readers still have about her story. Particularly I would like to know if the Mousavi family has read or heard of her book. An incredible story of faith. Imagine having everything about you totally stripped down and being forced to really answer the hard question of who you really are and what you would do to save yourself and those around you. Could you really love a child conceived as a result of rape. Is it acceptable to commit a crime against a person in the name of saving them from a worse fate. How do you realize when you are becoming an evil person in the name of promoting your ideals? How do you save your soul when you are drowning in suffering? Why is it that we find kindness and compassion from strangers and "enemies" when the people who should be closest to us are so distant? All I can say is READ THIS BOOK! Reach out and Touch Faith!
