"Like the Wind I Go" is a sweeping memoir about identity and
independence, as a young man grapples with his burgeoning adulthood and
an ancient empire faces its final hours of existence.

It’s 1978,
and Iran is swept up in a revolutionary fever. Still in college, author
Vahid Imani remains cautious, even as his friends and family celebrate a
new vision for the country. The people demand democracy, but is that
what awaits them?

Then, a mysterious tragedy. Vahid stumbles upon
the corpse of his missing neighbor, hanging from the beams of his
warehouse. He’s just one of many acquaintances to have recently died or
disappeared, without explanation. For Vahid, the siren’s song of the
West grows stronger, and he dreams of a life free from paranoia and
limitation. The desire to escape his deteriorating homeland becomes an
obsession, even as his family accuses him of forgetting his roots and
his girlfriend questions if he will choose liberty, over love. But the
shadow of oppression is swallowing Iran, and Vahid knows that his dream
of starting anew in a foreign land grows fainter every day. Caught in
the grip of culture, duty, and devotion, it seems there is no way out.
