Lila Azam Zanganeh's book is the first anthology of its kind. My Sister, Guard Your Veil; My Brother, Guard Your Eyes, which she edited, has been described as 'a literary antidote to misinformation on Iran.' Zanganeh was born in Paris to Iranian parents. A student of literature and philosophy, she earned a masters degree in international affairs from Columbia University and moved to the U.S. to teach at Harvard. Zanganeh is a contributor to Le Monde and has written for The New York Times and The Nation.

Superstar Toby Keith is more than busy. Billboard's top-selling country artist in '04 and ‘05, he has been featured in a national TV ad campaign, owns a chain of restaurants, filmed motion pictures, launched a record label and just released a new CD, 'Big Dog Daddy.' After playing football with a USFL farm team, the Oklahoma native decided to focus on music. He did double duty by playing local bars and working in oil fields. Keith has since earned both commercial success and artistic acclaim.
