In this true story narrated by Jean Sasson, the compassionate author of bestselling biographies Love In A Torn Land and Princess, an Afghani woman’s young son was kidnapped as punishment after she escaped from her violent husband.
Maryam’s arranged marriage to a violent Afghan man was desperately unhappy. Beaten and raped until her headstrong nature was suppressed, her baby son was her only solace. His kidnapping broke her heart, but also spurred her desire to achieve freedom and more equality with men.
For many long years, Maryam searched for her missing son, never losing hope in the face of tragedy, civil war and Taliban oppression. She would do anything For The Love Of A Son.
