Publisher's Synopsis
Lara is the stereotypical California girl--blonde, blue eyed, with a sun kissed tan.
Kayan, an Iranian foreign exchange student, boyishly handsome with dimples and long black curls, meet on the beaches of Malibu, California.
It was the 70s. There was no world drama coming out of the Middle East, not yet. Lara and Kayan were simply two people falling in love.
A few years later they would marry on the bluffs overlooking the California Coast. Life was idyllic in every way for the young couple.
They had no idea of the danger or harrowing future that was waiting for them. Iran was in position for a coup, trading one corrupt dictatorship for an even more controlling Islamic government.
Heartbreak, war, and politics would replace all the pretty pieces of Lara and Kayan's lives together. No, nothing could prepare them for what was coming...
