Acknowledgements
I dedicate this work to Sultan Banoo, who became single mother at the age of seventeen with two small children and did everything humanly possible to raise her children. nd to all the single moms who live with a dream of better life for themselves and their children.
Also, I dedicate this to my father, who lost his head in the 1981 Iran-Iraq war.
I would like to express my great appreciation to my mother, whose unwavering faith in me has been the driving force in my life. My mother’s unconditional love and prayers remain my unremitting source of strength.
Preface
This book is the window into my belief that what goes around comes around .
I decided to write the true story about a poor, honest, hardworking, and brave woman, who lost her husband whom loved so much; her family left her with a broken heart; and she had nowhere to go to raise her two children at the age of seventeen. After two years of working so hard, long hours baking bread and worked as maid, a miracle happened and all her prayers were answered by God. She begin to see the light and found a good man to marry her and keep her children. In the next two years of marriage, she had a new baby girl, Nazi, who she loved dearly, but when the daughter grew up and became a lady, she stabbed her mom and caused her to lose everything, including the man she loved. All her dreams were gone, and she’s dead with a broken heart.
I hope when you finish reading the life story of Sultan Banoo, you will find to answer to this question: Was God watching and listening to Sultan Banoo and punished her daughter and her husband or all these things occurs by coincidence? You must decide as we each decide paths every day.

Chapter 1
In the Beginning
Sultan Banoo’s life began in the city of Dezful. She was born in 1905 and raised by a poor family in the southern part of Iran. Early in 1900s, most of the people of Dezful worked on the farm, and the population was around ten thousand. Josef Jotea’s family lived in an old part of town, worked on the farm, and raised animals.
The name Dezful is derived from two words: dezj , which means “fortress,” and pol , which means “bridge.” Dezful is a city in the Khuzestan Province in Southwestern Iran. The city houses a bridge that dates back to 300 BC.
The population was about 250,000 by 2010. Dezful is 120 kilometers north of the city of Ahwaz, which is the capital of the state of Khuzestan. In 1980, the war between Iran and Iraq started and lasted eight years. Iraqi aircrafts regularly attacked Dezful and destroyed most of the historical buildings. Thousands people got killed. Dezful is primarily a commercial state and one of the main producers of agricultural products in Iran. The people of Dezful are known as Dezfuli, which is also what their language is called.
Josef lived with his wife Goldie and four children, two boys and two girls. The girls were named Sultan Banoo and Batool , and their boys were Mohamad and Hossain.
Even though the children were too young, the boys were working hard, helping Josef with his farming, while Sultan Banoo helped her mother bake bread and took it to the market for sale. Batool, the younger daughter, was too young to work. Sultan Banoo, as the eldest child, had a very strange personality. Most of the time she had problems with her mother and the rest of the family. When she was fourteen, her mother found a thirty-eight-year-old rich man to marry her, but Sultan Banoo refused. She repeatedly told her father that if her mother continued to push her, she would kill herself.
She continued to work at the house and helped her family. Her mother kept pushing her to get married, and she kept refusing. Goldie liked to save all the money to buy gold. She would let relatives borrow money from her when they needed and charged them with high interest. She didn’t care much about her children. Sultan Banoo had to do everything she could to raise her siblings. Most of the time she felt lonely. She had no one to talk to and share her feelings with.
Sharif was a young man of eighteen and didn’t live far from Sultan Banoo’s home. He worked as a construction worker. She liked and talked to him when no one was around. In those days, a young single girl was forbidden from talking to boys, but she disobeyed and continued to see him from time to time. After a few months, she realized there was a strange chemistry between herself and Sharif.
He had lost his father when he was four and was raised solely by his mother, who did not care about him that much. He grew up lonely and poor. When he was only twelve, he began working in construction. Then he worked as the helper of a brick layer and eventually started working as a mason.
His mother kept pressuring him to move out of the house, but he didn’t have a choice. He put up with all the pressure until he met Sultan Banoo, with whom he shared common problems. Their relationship got stronger, and there was a strange feeling between them. She started making lunch with fresh bread for him to take to work, which made him very happy. They were seeing each other every day.
Sultan Banoo’s mother felt something had changed in the behavior of her daughter, who was very happy but worked as hard as always. One day, when she was making food and put it in a small lunch box for Sharif, her mother saw that.
She proceeded to follow her daughter as she took it to Sharif. As soon as she saw what happened, Goldie began hitting the boy, who only responded by saying, “We love each other.”
Goldie yelled back, “You are nobody! You do not have a good family. If I see you talking to my daughter again, I will kill you.” She then began yelling at and hitting Sultan Banoo.
At home, when Sultan Banoo’s family were all there, Goldie told them that she was seeing and is in love with Sharif. They all got angry and told her, “You are not allowed to see him again.” Her father threatened to kick her out of the house.
One morning, when her family was away from home, she took a few belongings and ran away. With some help from family members, Sharif and Sultan Banoo married on August 24, 1918.
They got their own little room in a poor neighborhood. When Sultan Banoo’s family found out, they disowned her. They told her she was not allowed in their home anymore; she shamed them and claimed that all their neighbors looked down on them. Goldie did not speak or see her daughter, only one time and another time a few weeks before she died.
Sharif kept working hard to support his family, did his best to make his wife happy. After a few months, she was pregnant with their first son, Salim. Within the next two years, they had another son called Hakim.
Now he had four people to support, Sharif had to work very hard. Often he couldn’t find work. Life was difficult. Sultan Banoo was too busy with their children and couldn’t work. Yet they were happy. They felt that was the most important to have each other, and fortunately, their neighbors would help with feeding their children.
