What The Doves Said: The Shenaas-Nameh (Book Three)

By Mojdeh Marashi

Eager to find the truth about her parents' divorce, the author examines her mother’s shenaas-nameh (identification card) in this third installment, hoping to find answers. This brings back memories of betrayal, greed, and sadness. She is reminded of visiting her dad and his new wife after the divorce. The broken promises, and the disappointing truth that once surrounded her mother haunt the author now. She realizes that in order to move forward she must transcend the past but there is a huge distance between knowing and doing.
