Publisher's Note The repressiveness of the Iranian regime rings loud as a female judge tells her story of demotion to court clerk, her return to public life as a human rights lawyer, her fight against arrest and assassination attempts, and her eventual embrace by the world when she won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003.
Industry Reviews "[A] memoir that is both a deft history of post-revolutionary Iran and a genuinely intimate recollection. It is fast-paced, suspenseful and spare, its details memorable and well-chosen. And it is a story that encapsulates the harsh choices that face those who live and fight for change within the Islamic Republic of Iran." (07/16/2006)
