Farah Farnia is a resilient Iranian woman who, amid the growing turmoil that would culminate in the bloody revolution of 1979, uprooted her life in her homeland in search of a brighter future for her family on the other side of the world. In this memoir, Farah recounts her personal experience with life's inevitable tumults. An arranged marriage at the young age of 13, the loss of a child, and twenty years of public service marked only the first half of her time on Earth. Upon arrival to America, Farah would embark on a new journey, an entrepreneurial rollercoaster, in her many attempts to run a successful business and achieve the American Dream. Thanks to an indominable entrepreneurial spirit, an abiding faith in her maker, and ironclad familial bonds, Farah never gave up on her lifelong quest to better her life and the lives of her loved ones despite the odds being stacked against her as both a woman and an immigrant.
