Burn it on a pyre, and its ashes will get in your eyes. But, if you entertain them from time-to-time, you realize they are no longer anything but the residual imaginings of the human mind.\" Roya is a coming-of-age novel telling the story of a 22-year-old Iranian-American woman confronting the shadows of her past in search of lion-hearted strength. Pressured to trade her dream of becoming a composer for medical school, she is at odds with her immigrant parents. A heartbreak over her first love has left her further feeling like an expat in her own body. Upon her grandmother's request, she embarks on a reluctant journey to Iran. There, she finds a country with its own torn identity --one caught between tradition and modernity. A quiet, yet pressing craving for freedom exists mirroring Roya's own inner battle. With the help of some unlikely friends, she finds truth in the unraveling of family secrets and a new dawn for dreams.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elnaz Moghangard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1657151743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781657151741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d","brand":"Elnaz Moghangard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057477644543,"sku":"9781657151741","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a680f25-77e2-4eeb-993b-515639efe713.jpg?v=1685047212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/roya-elnaz-moghangard-9781657151741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
