A young girl named Moji grows up in a family torn apart by the terror of an Islamic Revolution. Her culture, her gender, and her education are all in jeopardy. Moji's grandparents' lush garden in Tehran is a paradise for her, but as she listens to her grandfather recount the enchanting stories of One Thousand and One Nights, revolution is brewing in her homeland. The last monarch of Iran will soon leave the country, and Moji's home and family will never be the same.
From Moji's house on Sun Street, readers experience the 1979 Iranian revolution through the eyes of a young girl and her family members during a time of concussive political and social change. Moji must endure the harrowing first days of the violent revolution, a fraught passage to the US where she faces hostility from her classmates during the Iranian hostage crisis, her father's detainment by the Islamic Revolutionary Army, and finally, the massive change in the status of women in post-revolution Iran.
Along with these seismic shifts, Moji faces the universal perils of love, sexuality, and adolescence. However, her school is centered on political indoctrination, and even a young girl's innocent crush can mean catastrophe. Will Moji be able to pull through? Will her family come to her rescue? And just like Scheherazade, will the power of stories help her prevail?
