Hamid Nakhostin Ahmadi’s Bridge to Bridge is a moving literary memoir chronicling one man’s escape from revolutionary Iran and his journey to redefine himself in exile.

With the rise of memoirs exploring themes of migration, identity, and personal resilience, Bridge to Bridge stands out for its quiet emotional force and richly detailed narrative. Written with the elegance of reflection and the urgency of lived experience, the book offers a ground-level view of how ordinary people are swept into the currents of history—and how they find a way to survive.

Ahmadi grew up in Tehran in the years leading up to the 1979 Iranian Revolution. He witnessed firsthand a society divided between its ancient cultural roots and the rapid modernization imposed by the Shah’s regime. As student protests escalated and the streets turned violent, Ahmadi made the life-altering decision to leave his country. With his family’s reluctant support and the distant promise of opportunity in America, he boarded a plane with more questions than answers.

Through deeply human scenes—kitchen table arguments, long visa lines, silent taxi rides to the airport—Bridge to Bridge paints a vivid emotional map of departure. The story explores not just how it feels to leave, but what is left behind: language, parents, identity, and a version of the self tied tightly to home.

This book captures the East vs. West conflict not as a geopolitical theory, but as a deeply personal struggle. Ahmadi navigates cultural dislocation, loneliness, and the burden of expectation with clarity and compassion. His story is as much about survival and resilience as it is about grief and memory.

“Everyone talks about revolution like it’s all fire and slogans,” Ahmadi says. “But for most of us, it was just quiet heartbreak—the kind that follows you for the rest of your life.”

Bridge to Bridge also resonates with timely themes: the struggles of immigration, the cost of political violence, and the quiet courage it takes to leave behind what you know in pursuit of what you might become. For readers who appreciated books like The Ungrateful Refugee or Persepolis, this memoir offers a grounded and emotionally honest narrative that is both specific in its setting and universal in its reach.

Now available in print and digital formats, Bridge to Bridge is an invitation to walk alongside someone who has lived through history—and emerged not unscarred, but unbroken.
