abstract note	All Hormoz wanted was to enjoy a normal life and keep his family safe. But in the years following the Islamic revolution of 1979 in Iran, that simple wish became increasingly difficult to achieve. His family was Bahá’í, a minority religion in the country. Hormoz’s parents had established themselves as pillars of the community,and their future was promising. That all went away after the revolution. Suddenly, the family was the target of attacks, and their home and place of business were besieged by mobs. The police not only failed to stop these assaults, but actively encouraged them. Still, the family held on, moving from place to place and trying to reestablish themselves after having lost everything. When Hormoz grew up, he joined the army, found a wife, and started raising a family of his own. But the shadows of the past continued to haunt him. When the threats against his family reached a critical point, he had to make a decision: stay in the beloved country of his birth, or try a desperate flight across the border to freedom? Banished across Borders is the astonishing true story of an Iranian refugee struggling to protect his family and live a normal life. Hormoz’s story is both inspiring and heartbreaking. It’s a tale of courage, of self-sacrifice, and indomitable spirit in the face of prejudice and persecution. Note that the full surname of the family is not given.
