Meetra's life in Iran is all that she could want. Her husband,
Omar, is a high-ranking official with the Shah's army, they have a
beautiful son, and she lives a luxurious life. But after her
husband's tragic death in the midst of the Iranian Revolution in
1979, Meetra suddenly becomes a threat to the new regime.
To protect herself and her young son, Meetra flees her home,
forced to trust those who could be the enemy. Her perilous flight
takes her across the border into Pakistan and eventually, to the
unfamiliar shores of America.
After leaving all she knows behind, Meetra finds herself living
in Michigan where she discovers solace in a sewing circle with
other refugee women from many different countries. Even with the
chaos she escaped, Meetra is hard pressed to answer the question,
"What brought you here?"
Rich with multicultural detail, emotion, and suspense, "Finding
Refuge" is a heartening portrait of a mother's love for her son and
of one woman's unyielding spirit.
