520    "Born in a slum, Kooshyar Karimi transformed himself into 
       an award-winning writer as well as a successful doctor, 
       whose conscience won't let him turn away the unmarried 
       women who beg him to save their lives by ending 
       pregnancies that would see them stoned to death. One of 
       those women is Leila. She yearns to go to university, but 
       her family forbids it. Kooshyar has rescued countless 
       women, but Leila seeks his help for a different reason, 
       one that will haunt him for years afterwards. Leila's 
       Secret shows us everyday life for women in a country where
       it can be a crime to fall in love. For all its tragedy, 
       this book is paradoxically uplifting, told from the heart 
       of Kooshyar's immense sympathy." -- Amazon.com.
