In his powerful debut memoir, Bridge to Bridge, author Hamid Nakhostin Ahmadi shares a deeply personal account of growing up in 1970s Iran—a time marked by cultural contradictions, political unrest, and a nation on the edge of transformation. With clarity and emotional resonance, Ahmadi recounts what it meant to come of age in a society caught between centuries-old tradition and Western modernity, only to face the shattering consequences of revolution.

Born into a family that valued education and progress, Ahmadi lived a life of quiet ambition in Tehran. But as political turmoil engulfed the country, that life began to unravel. Through the lens of his own family’s struggles, the memoir captures the complex interplay of hope and fear, love and loss, belonging and displacement.

Bridge to Bridge is not just about the Iranian Revolution—it’s a deeply human story about leaving home when home no longer feels safe. It explores themes of family and identity, cultural transformation, exile and displacement, and the struggles of immigration. In honest, grounded prose, Ahmadi examines how generational expectations, political fear, and the longing for personal freedom collided in his life.

“What stood out to me as I wrote this book,” Ahmadi shares, “was that the most painful parts weren’t the politics or even the departure itself—it was watching my parents silently carry the weight of my decision. It’s those moments—between airport goodbyes and quiet nights of doubt—that linger.”

The memoir also paints a vivid portrait of pre-revolutionary Iran: a place of vibrant culture, teeming bazaars, glamorous cafés, and spiritual depth. Ahmadi writes not only with the insight of someone who lived it, but with the tenderness of someone who never truly left it behind.

Whether you are the child of immigrants, a student of Middle Eastern history, or someone simply interested in what it means to start over, Bridge to Bridge is an unforgettable read. It is a tribute to those who leave everything behind for a chance at something uncertain, but free.
