O knihe

When Sara Rahimi was a teenager living in Tehran, she longed to be some place where she could freely socialize with her friends, dance in public, or walk hand-in-hand with a boy. She dreamed of a life where she could one day become whatever she wanted for herself. Instead, she lived in an atmosphere characterized by fear and terror - one where Morality Police monitored her every move, and gendered cultural norms determined her life's path. Still, she found ways to outsmart it. As a teenager, she once begged her male friend to jump out of her family's second story window in order to avoid harsh punishment from the police for an unauthorized co-ed after-school hang-out.

Flash forward to today, and Sara lives in a new country and finds herself voluntarily jumping out of a plane. From sky diving to a career change, Sara has finally become everything she's ever dreamed of in Canada. But it comes at the expense of her traditional marriage. Still, Sara can't shake the feeling that she does not belong in her new world and that something is missing. In Little Sara of Tehran, she learns to overcome her past, and move forward by trusting her instincts, following her gut, and transforming her deepest grief into her life's greatest purpose.
