We were a world of two, my mother and I, until I began turning into an American girl. That’s when she first warned me about The Good Daughter. In this sweeping and poignant memoir, Jasmin Darznik uncovers her family’s hidden past after discovering a mysterious photograph of her mother with an unknown man. Through ten cassette tapes sent by her mother, Jasmin learns the heartbreaking truth: her mother Lili was married at thirteen, endured years of abuse, and was forced to abandon a daughter—Sara, the Good Daughter—who remained in Iran. Darznik weaves the stories of three generations of Iranian women into a powerful tale of secrets, betrayal, resilience, and the enduring mother-daughter bond.
