In post-revolutionary Iran, being Baha'i meant fractured futures: no university, no profession, no way to support a family. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYet hidden in a dresser drawer was a golden ticket: a United States passport quietly renewed every five years in secret. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBorn in the United States and taken back to Iran as an infant, Nizam grew up free on paper and trapped in practice, watching his possibilities shrink with each passing year. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs adolescence gave way to urgency, Nizam had to decide whether hope was worth the risk of escape. With surveillance closing in and many doors slammed shut, he faced an unthinkable choice: remain invisible or gamble everything on a document that could save or destroy him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePassport to Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e is a gripping memoir of faith, identity, and the fragile line between belonging and exile--where freedom is never guaranteed, and survival depends on who dares to help you carry it. At a time when authoritarian regimes cloak oppression in the language of culture and faith, Nizam's unbelievable journey reminds us what is lost when conscience is outlawed--and why America remains a refuge worth choosing.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNizam Missaghi, M.D., is an Iranian-American physician.
