Book excerpt: Lovesick in Beverly Hills is the story of a Persian Jewish girls struggle to survive coming to America at age eighteen. As result of an arranged marriage, she had to face a lethal divorce and a painful relationship to one of the Beverly Hills wealthiest men: a powerful wheeler-dealer who refused to leave his drunken, abusive wife but also refused to let go of the only woman he ever loved. The divorce became grand theater, and eleven lawyers later, she built her own case all by herself to avoid going to jail for a crime she never committed.
