Midwest Book Review gives The Ruby Tear Catcher FIVE stars and says: "In 1970s Iran, you are not your own woman, but a pawn of the men around you. "The Ruby Tear Catcher" is the story of an Iranian woman jailed for her father's political beliefs. Leila recalls a simpler time of her youth and how she falls into being punished for the sins of another. Drawing on the author's own experiences, "The Ruby Tear Catcher" is a fascinating read, very highly recommended."
