Between Two Worlds: My Life and Captivity in Iran - Softcover
In early 2009, Roxana Saberi, an American journalist born to Iranian and Japanese parents, was forced from her home in Tehran, secretly detained, and falsely accused of espionage—then sentenced to eight years in prison. Between Two Worlds is the gripping and inspirational true story of her harrowing imprisonment and the faith that got her through it, until an international outcry helped secure her release.
Along the way, Saberi gained strength from other prisoners—brave women jailed for their pursuit of human rights such as the freedom of speech and religion. This memoir of her struggle to be true to herself regardless of the consequences also offers penetrating insights into Iranian society, the Islamic regime, U.S.-Iran relations, and the historic changes sweeping Iran today.
Between Two Worlds is a timeless, universal story of the trials and triumphs of the human spirit, as well as a dramatic, illuminating account of the ongoing battle for freedom in Iran.

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Roxana Saberi has reported for ABC Radio, the BBC, Feature Story News, Fox News, NPR, and PRI. She lived in Iran from February 2003 to May 2009 and currently resides in the United States.
In January of 2009, American-Iranian journalist Roxana Saberi was kidnapped, secretly arrested by Iranian police, and subsequently jailed for more than three months. Unfortunately, as narrator, Saberi focuses so much effort on reading clearly that she cannot breathe life into her story. Her flat, at times even robotic, narration does little to enhance the story of her harrowing ordeal. The listener anticipates great emotion from the travails of more than 100 days in prison, including 11 days in solitary confinement, but she fails to impart the expected emotional effect, despite her accounts of intense psychological torture.
