ABOUT THE BOOK

Born in Iran, Hamid Ran was forced to leave everything behind, not by choice, but because of his words.

As a journalist, he wrote about women’s rights, children’s rights, and the realities the government did not want seen. Those truths cost him his safety and his future in his own country.

Before the West is a powerful memoir of exile, survival, and identity. From the moment he is forced to leave Iran, to the uncertainty of life in Turkey, to finally being recognized as a refugee by the United Nations and the United States, this is a journey shaped by loss, resilience, and hope.

This is not just a story of leaving a country.

It is the story of leaving a life behind.

A life of memories, of family, of streets that still live in his heart, even as he may never walk them again.

This is a story of darkness and light.

Of struggle and survival.

Of a man searching for a place to belong in a world that forced him to start over.
