Between Two Worlds: A Childhood Torn Apart

Imagine being nine years old, sitting in your classroom, when suddenly your biological father-a stern stranger you barely recognize-appears to take you away from the only mother you've known. This is how Nahid Rachlin's journey begins, as she's forcibly transported from Tehran to the sweltering city of Ahvaz in 1955 Iran. Despite her fever and protests, she's delivered to her birth family-strangers who claim her as their own. The contrast between her two mothers couldn't be starker: Maryam, her adoptive mother, wrapped her in warmth, Persian poetry, and unconditional love for nine years; Mohtaram, her biological mother, maintains a peculiar emotional distance, clearly favoring Nahid's sister Manijeh. In her new home, only her sister Pari shows genuine kindness, forming what will become the most significant relationship in Nahid's fractured life.
