Steeped in a mother s love for her children and driven by a wife s devotion to the memory of her late husband, THE PROMISE traces an Iraqi woman s desperate seven-year journey to freedom in Australia.

But things changed when Saddam Hussein's regime came to power. They were recalled to Iraq and when Ra ad was given a job in Saddam's Information Ministry, he became distant and withdrawn. Late
