With Iran and its neighbors so much in the news, this gentle story of a young Iranian widow offers a fascinating insight into an aspect of its culture. It is the story of Reyhan, a devout woman in a headscarf and respectful of tradition.  She does not appear to be a rebel and she never openly challenges society’s mores.  All she wants to do is support herself and her daughter by running her late husband’s café.  She doesn’t want to follow the tradition that insists a widow move in with her late husband’s family. Instead, she wants to support herself and her daughter by herself.  So she re-opens her late husband’s café and goes into business.  Needless to say, this causes quite an uproar.  Women are expected to cook, but custom forbids their taking jobs.  Reyhan is a great cook, happy to stay in the kitchen and show care and compassion for her traveling customers with fabulous food. ~ Francie Noyes
