Betty has come to the Middle East with her daughter and native-born husband (Alfred Molina, Species) for a visit with his family. But soon the horrible truth about the vacation surfaces. Betty s husband doesn t intend to bring his family back to America…ever. She may return, he says, but their daughter must stay. And he has centuries of local custom and the oppressive might of a police state behind him. As a stranger in a foreign land, Betty has no money, no friends and no rights. But she does have an unconquerable will. In a hostile, war-torn country, where even the slightest misstep can mean death, she makes a desperate bid to escape with her child. Her story, her courage and her ultimate triumph are unforgettable.
