The Good Moms, Their Children and Friendship

By Patricia Dutt

The Good Moms, Their Children and Friendship depicts the life and death of Nasrin, an Iranian immigrant who arrived in the US shortly after the 1979 Iranian Hostage Crisis. Nasrin moved to a small city in New York where she found herself alone with a 16-month-old baby and penniless. The book, which relies on interviews from family and friends, recounts her friendships and struggles as a single mother. The narrative weaves together the events of her life with the history of Iran and the cultural politics of US--Iranian relations. It is also a meditation on women's friendships, spirituality, grief and death. Nasrin was a young woman when she died, but she managed to thrive, build a career, and live to see her daughter become a mother.
