In her debut novel The Ruby Tear Catcher, Nahid paints a poignant picture of the struggles in the Middle East, driven by religious fervor and political change.
Nahid is married with two children. Her husband, who lived for twenty years in a Christian community,
provided much of the context for Christian fundamentalism in The Ruby Tear Catcher.
Nahid is fluent in English, Farsi, and French and has traveled to Iran with her family on many occasions, where she’s experienced and observed first-hand the turmoil and transition she writes about.
