Here are tender, lyrical, colorful stories of an Iran that Americans do not know and have no way of discovering directly. Tara Kangarlou has created a work of people-to-people diplomacy, using her words to paint pictures of a very different country than the harsh, angry land depicted in the news. If only Iranians could read a similar account of the Heartbeat of the United States!Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America
With all of the talk about Iran, we hear far too little about the stories of the Iranian people themselves. The Heartbeat of Iran gives us the individual stories of Iranians an illuminating and powerful portrait of a people who have been so often mischaracterized, and whose voices deserve to be Rhodes, author of The World as It Is: A Memoir of the Obama White House

In todays interconnected global village, Iran remains a mystery to much of the rest of the worldespecially to those living in the United States and the west. While the country is often synonymous with rogue behavior on the world stage, there is also another, rarely seen side to this nation of 80 million, including being home to the greatest number of Jews in the Middle East outside of Israel, and having the largest transsexual population in the region, among other unexpected surprises.
The Heartbeat of Iran takes us on a journey into everyday life in Iran, where we meet the diverse people who make up the countrys delicate socio-cultural, political, and religious mosaic. Through textured portraits of regular Iraniansfrom a blind Sunni environmental activist to the gay son of a general, from Irans first female race car driver to a young rabbi who is training the future generation of Jewish rabbis in Israels enemy stateThe Heartbeat of Iran reveals a people whose dreams and fears mirror that of millions of others worldwide, and who yearn to join an international community that often views them through the blur of a hostile political fog.
