It describes the tyrannical measures instituted by the religious mullahs that clamp down on the rights of women.

Shackled by her own life in Iran, Layla yearns to escape Iran, to escape her mother and her husband in search of freedom and the courage to find happiness. It is an ode to freedom.
The culmination of the Moon trilogy, MOONLIGHT is a memorable story with unforgettable characters and an intriguing storyline that crosses nationalities to portray universal truths.
What Readers Are Saying:
"The Moon trilogy is a nuanced and compelling epic saga about the struggles and triumphs of a Middle Eastern woman and an American woman in their interlocking journey of self-determination. I felt I've always known Layla, the archetypal woman constrained by a patriarchal culture, and Jolie, a free spirit, as well as their respective cast of characters. I was swept up by their shared courage and resilience despite their differences.
"This timeless story is relevant to readers of all ages and crosses all nationalities. Guitta Karubian is a master writer who obviously has drawn on her own knowledge to make these books so riveting. MOONLIGHT, the third and crowning book of the trilogy, stands on its own, but will make readers hungry for PERSIAN MOON and MOON CHILD,
the other two books in the trilogy."
​
"As an Iranian-American, I applauded PERSIAN MOON for its portrayal of Layla as well as for the wonderful scenes of Iran. I also so loved the character of Jolie in MOON CHILD! Needless to say, I couldn't wait to read MOONLIGHT, the third book of the Moon trilogy and was not disappointed. I absolutely loved it MOONLIGHT tops off this fascinating trilogy with appropriate excellence. Though each book stands alone, I highly recommend reading all three novels in the exciting Moon trilogy."
