One Summer in My Life

by Manijeh Badiozamani

How do you chronicle a life? Manijeh Badiozamani tells of her life in a series of short stories that offer glimpses of a life lived in two cultures, rich in friends, ventures, and love.

“This collection of invariably amusing and often heartwarming experiences is like a treasure chest one discovers and opens, and invariably finds a rare gem here or a small trinket there. But the discoveries are always rewarding. The stories range over time and are often told with a gentle irony that will both amuse and enlighten. Each story stands alone, but together they describe a life’s journey full of perception, empathy, and great humor.”

—Dr. Mark David Welton, Professor Emeritus, United States Military Academy at West Point.
