Publisher's Summary:
I Kept Walking opens in 1940s Tehran when a misguided prank leaves three- year-old Minou frozen in fear. Days later, a doctor breaks the news to her mother: 'Your daughter has polio.' To understand why nothing is as it seems-the cause of her polio or why her dutiful Jewish mother, who was married off at 13, thwarted her dream of marriage, Minou must flee Iran and confront the psychological toll of her polio. I Kept Walking is the audacious account of a bold young woman who was unwilling to be crushed by polio or the prohibitions of a conservative society. From the labyrinth of narrow alleys in Tehran's Grand Bazaar to a Jerusalem hospital room, this unforgettable memoir depicts a young woman's struggle to embrace her culture while defying its taboos. This immigrant story will resonate with mothers and daughters, Jews and Persians, as well as anyone who has braved the unknown and kept on walking.
