Now the darn captchas-when did you start them again?<br /><br />Hugs,<br />RosemaryExtraordinay Dreams of an Ireland Traveler by Mamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05544525522910527784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937578189437367147.post-11117073028127762262012-09-19T10:25:06.670-07:002012-09-19T10:25:06.670-07:00My Dear Micki,
After reading this book review, I...My Dear Micki, <br /><br />After reading this book review, I don't know what to say. It Confirms all of the horror stories that I have heard happening, not only in Iran but in some other Islamic countries as well. I admire Lori for her braveness and her determination to not give up. As I read your review, I thought of the hell that she experienced and my heart hurt for her. I am so glad that she is now safe and back home. Her book will help many western women who are looking at the men from these countries through rose colored glasses. this is one book that I definitely want to read. I pray that Lori will continue to walk with God and continue to experience his wonderful healing.<br />Ciao,<br />Patricia<br /><br />Pat Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204650731843984192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937578189437367147.post-87938764178608186322012-09-19T09:17:07.744-07:002012-09-19T09:17:07.744-07:00You guys are so supportive. It's amazing what...You guys are so supportive. It's amazing what you can survive when placed in that position. I never thought about longterm plans it seemed like I lived minute to minute, hoping I would make it through that time period. I also had Faresh chained to me so I owed her some time and support. We couldn't talk to each other (although we managed to communicate and talk VERRRRYYY LITTLE). When things would get chaotic like if a girl was giving the guards a hard time or a person didn't want their family member being treated bad, we took advantage of these times to talk and try to fill in our backgrounds as much as we could while the guards were busy. The guards recognized our support of one another (facial grimaces or compassionate faces) and started raping us publicly which quickly quit those shows of support because we couldn't even look each other in the eyes after that. The rapes were bad enough but when they started doing them publicly it ruined all our self-esteem (or what little was left) I did want to lie down and just die by getting kicked to death or whatever they would choose, but something in my mind told me I had to hold on as long as Faresh, I owed that to her (for some strange reason I truly believed that). The last thing you thought of was home, I tried to concentrate on ANYTHING but home. The ants who were building their kingdom, where else could we squeeze water from besides our pants and shirts. Most of my thoughts were how I thought I would die, usually some disease from what we drank, or some condition from the bugs we ate. or worse a VD from all the guards that raped us, AMAZINGLY I never suffered from any of that. This is why I KNOW THERE IS A GOD, and when he spoke to me the night before we escaped. I didn't know what was going on, and someone tapped me on my shoulder and I quickly jerked around to see what guard was screwing with me now, and no one was there and Faresh was out at my side sleeping sitting up, then I heard a voice "Lori your going home", NOBODY WAS AROUND but I thought someone was teasing me but NOONE was there, and I didn't know we were going to escape the next night, and sure enough we were on our way home. So I KNOW THERE IS A GOD and he has a PLAN for me. IT MIGHT NOT BE SOME BIG WORLD ALTERING PLAN, but I'm a part of this world and obviously he wants to keep me around for some further purpose which I might never know. GOD BLESS and thank you for reading my book.<br />My book is on the FREE KINDLE BORROW program now.<br />LoriLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07598385861688875360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937578189437367147.post-84985851498236289322012-09-18T20:24:08.777-07:002012-09-18T20:24:08.777-07:00Thanks Deirdre, Raani and Sandra,
