 <em>The Lion Women of Tehran&nbsp\;</em>by Marjan Kamali</strong></p>\n<p>
 <em>In 1950s Tehran\, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until th
 e untimely death of her father\, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a
  tiny home downtown. Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother&rsquo\;s e
 ndless grievances\, Ellie dreams for a friend to alleviate her isolation.<
 /em></p>\n<p><em>Luckily\, on the first day of school\, she meets Homa\, a
  kind girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit. Together\, the two girls
  play games\, learn to cook in the stone kitchen of Homa&rsquo\;s warm hom
 e\, wander through the colorful stalls of the Grand Bazaar\, and share the
 ir ambitions of becoming &ldquo\;lion women.&rdquo\;</em></p>\n<p><em>But 
 their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother are afforded the op
 portunity to return to their previous bourgeois life. Now a popular studen
 t at the best girls&rsquo\; high school in Iran\, Ellie&rsquo\;s memories 
 of Homa begin to fade. Years later\, however\, her sudden reappearance in 
 Ellie&rsquo\;s privileged world alters the course of both of their lives.<
 /em></p>\n<p><em>Together\, the two young women come of age and pursue the
 ir own goals for meaningful futures. But as the political turmoil in Iran 
 builds to a breaking point\, one earth-shattering betrayal will have enorm
 ous consequences.</em></p>\n<p style="text-align: center\;"><strong>A Serv
