My Name Means Fire

A powerful memoir of survival, identity, and resilience, My Name Means Fire invites readers into both the external and internal worlds of a young girl navigating abuse, war, and gender oppression in revolutionary Iran. Through vivid storytelling and the lens of dissociative identity, Atash Yaghmaian reclaims her narrative with courage and imagination—challenging stigma while illuminating the many ways girls endure, adapt, and survive.
