One Woman's Path to Liberation and Personal Empowerment


Shahpar, a naïve and spirited thirteen year old in westernized Iran, agrees to marry her mother's music tutor, a man eleven years her senior. She comes of age with her innocence lost and dreams of a fairy tale life with her prince charming shattered.


Betrayed and cloaked in family shame, with only a eighth grade education in a culture that denies a woman's rights, Shahpar finds the courage and resourcefulness to alter the course of her life.


Spanning three countries and cultures, Unchained Feather is an inspiring and engaging story of hope, tenacity, and empowerment.
