Amid the 1979 Revolution, Jasmine Lawi and her family fled Iran because they were Jewish.

Persian Tea tells Jasmine’s and her family’s adventures. These adventures include her father’s dare-devil encounter with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, an intimate rendezvous with a music legend only after believing that she was the FBI’s “Most Wanted,” navigating through the prickly terrain of private school, a close-encounter with danger inside the Vatican, and her intrepid journeys inside Israel, which ultimately changed her luck in life and reshaped her future.

Jasmine writes Persian Tea with creative liberty, and it will leave you riveted until the very end!
Above all, Persian Tea exemplifies the power of discovering one’s identity and essence, laughter in the face of evil, faith over fear, and love when it was needed the most.
Jasmine Lawi is also the author of Loving Notes for a Beautiful Life and Noa: A Story of Courage, her first children's book.
