something I read “Not Without my Daughter.”
I
left off on Not Without my Daughter when they got out of the car and
got on horseback so they wouldn't get caught. Their journey begins
their journey on horseback they stumble through the rocks and snow all
just for freedom. seeking freedom from iran is a very hard fight
because of all the checkpoints and officers they have to get past. Also
they must travel across high mountains with extremely cold weather. But
after their long horse ride they finally they reach a bus .They spend 32
hours on a bus, after riding the bus they arrive in Ankara which has
taken them a whole week to get there since the journey began. Betty
finds a hotel and they wait there for there last step to freedom which
is the American Embassy. They get to the hotel but their passports are
not in order, no visas or border stamps. The hotel clerk does not
tolerate it and keeps threatening to report them to the police. Betty
begs him to contact the Embassy at three a.m. There was a Marine on duty
but refuses to help and urges them to see the police. Betty persuades
the clerk to call her mother and her mom contacts the State Department
in Washington so they could verify the information. When they reach the
Embassy Betty fears that they want have all the information verified and
they will be sent to the police. But when they get to the Embassy
everything is taken care of and they are safe at last. Within the same
day they are on a plane back home to safety. Betty and her daughter
have safely made it out of Iran.
