Betty Mahmoody's story of fortitude during her two years in Iran is awe-inspiring. Betty and her daughter are happy now, although Mahtob still suffers some effects from the terrifying ordeal. They live in the U.S. under assumed names as Betty's husband still threatens to get Mahtob back. However, Betty is no longer afraid of him. "We have so much freedom. I want people to read this story and appreciate their freedom. When they see the American flag or the Statue of Liberty, I want those things to mean to everyone what they now mean to me."

Since returning from Iran in 1986, Mahmoody has devoted her life to helping hundreds of others in similar situations. She is the President and co-founder of ONE WORLD: FOR CHILDREN, an organization designed to promote understanding between cultures and to offer security and protection to children of bi-cultural marriages. She was also the chief investigator for legislation passed in Michigan relating to international kidnaping. As an expert in the field of international kidnaping, Mahmoody acts as an ongoing consultant to the State Department on the subject.

In 1990, Betty Mahmoody was honored as Outstanding Woman of the Year by Oakland University and as the Most Courageous Woman of the Year and Woman of the Year in Germany. She also received an honorary degree from her Michigan alma mater, Alma College.
