Synopsis
The author writes about her years in early-1970s America, when her father, an Iranian oil company executive, was posted to California. Their arrival coincided with the hostage crisis, when anti-Iran fervor in America was at its height--and her father lost his job. Despite this and other trials, the family continued in its admiration for the U.S., and Firoozeh Dumas recounts the story with humor.
