A memoir told from two vantage points: a boy growing up in 1970s Iran, faster than any child should, observing and recoiling in the moment of a terrifying revolution and change of power--and the adult who's dedicated to a measured assessment of the events that shaped him. Aria Minu-Sepehr takes us back through his explosive youth, into the heart of the revolution when a boy's hero, his own father, held up as the nation’s pride, became a hunted man.

Aria Minu-Sepehr lives in Corvallis with his wife and two daughters. He moved with his family to the United States following the fall of the shah of Iran in 1979.
