“Flight to Freedom” is the "true story" of my struggle to free myself from the suppression I experienced as a second class citizen (a woman) of an eastern, Muslim society. Although my memoir is in some ways similar to others such as “Surprised by God -How I Leaned to Stop Worrying and Love” by Danya Ruttenberg, “Called To Question”- A "Spiritual Memoir” by Joan Chittister, “The Breath of Angels” by Stephanie Saldana, “Lipstick Jihad and Honeymoon in Tehran” by Azadeh Movaveni, “God Underneath” by Edward L. Beck and “Autobiography” by Shirin Ebadi, my memoir differs from those and others in the industry in several respects.
My memoir is the only and the first one to show the world the situation of Turkish women and their journey towards spiritual awareness and equality. In my book I reveal not just my own experiences, but also an insider’s insight into family, society, religion, education to politics and human relations in Turkish culture. Before this, no one in Turkey had written an English language spiritual memoir about a woman’s spiritual journey.
Turkey occupies a unique position geographically and as a nation in that it is not fully eastern and certainly not fully Western, but stands uneasily astride both world views. Turkey is rich in ancient civilizations and history, the product of many waves of immigrants over the centuries.
Over all those centuries of division and hatred and warfare, this is the first time, the first decade, where the possibility existed to be able to communicate instantly and worldwide to all the peoples of the world. In that communication, in that sharing of stories, lays the seeds of understanding and awareness that we are all very similar and that our hearts have the same fears and hopes.
If we want to stop killing each other and bring peace to our world we should get as much information and insight as we can to understand each other and to build grace and compassion with each other. I believe my book will allow for a greater understanding of Muslim people and erode the preconceptions and fears that arise from lack of direct experience.
By reading my book people can understand how the information given by our parents and from their parents impact us as children, setting us on a course of building strong beliefs about other countries, and we start separating ourselves from each other because of the fear planted in our subconscious when we were children.
The more separated from each other the more pain we have and the chance of having peace in the world is getting diminished more and more each day.
If you give me chance to have my book out to the world people will learn more about nearly everything about my culture and the information I give in my book can be a mirror to them on their spiritual journey as well.
My book is not just a biography but it also reflects my own perception as well as the whole country’s consciousness on religion, God, love, sex, politics, education, human relations, motherhood, and the prevailing conceptions about the nature of men and women.
I hope that I have convinced you that my book is a unique one and that it needs to be published to help women to become happy, independent and peaceful mothers, raising their children in the light of higher awareness and consciousness. I also stress in my book that our dreams can give us a target to follow on our way to personal growth.

explanation of the book
“Flight to Freedom,” by Umit Samur, is the memoir of a Middle Eastern woman’s spiritual journey from a victimized woman to an independent creator. It begins with the 1999 Istanbul earthquake, a devastating event which made her question her life and then make monumental and courageous decisions for a better future.
Would you like to join with me to help women to free their soul and to be able to raise their children as peaceful, happy, independent and creative mothers? With my memoir I am contributing to the consciousness of oneness with the goal of making the world a peaceful and abundant place to live.
I show how the fear of God, which was planted into my subconscious by my mother and society, made me a victimized woman like most of the women in the Middle East. My birth religion has been misinterpreted by men to exert a huge control over women for centuries. It has been giving more rights to men than women. Not knowing their own worth or strength, these women mother and raise the next generation, and so the distortion is passed on generation after generation.
Readers will learn why the actions of Muslim people do not make sense to others. Readers will also realize the hidden pressures and fear beneath those harmful actions. As well, people will learn how a person’s life is formed by family, society and culture.
This memoir is the first book of 3-part series, which presents information about my upbringing and how my wildest childhood dream gave me courage and strength not to quit while overcoming the challenges on my journey. In the second book, I will show how I started a new life in America, my dreamland and created my work from that beginning. In my third book, I will show how I fulfilled my dream and became an American citizen and why I decided to go back to my homeland again.
My memoir has 538 pages in a 5x8-inch double spaced format and includes 15 chapters. The chapters follow the sequence of events in the character’s life.
The first chapter begins when I am on a plane flying to my dream country and I flash back to past memories. I go on to explain why, when the 1999 earthquake happened near Istanbul, it was a wake-up call for me to urgently do something to become a free and independent woman before it was too late.
Subsequent chapters show what it was like to grow up in my culture, from my childhood to the moment that I stepped into the U.S.A., my dream country. When I was a little girl nothing around me made sense and I was so unhappy and scared of living in such a threatening place. But deep inside I knew that there was a place where I would find peace and respect as a woman.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Umit Samur

book outline
“Flight to Freedom” Outline
Umit Samur ID1118
Chapter 1 “The Time is Now”, I am on a plane flying to the United Sates, my biggest dream since I was a little girl. During the flight I flash over the course and memories of my life, my pain of separation from my daughter and my family. I try to reevaluate the events which affected my life.
Chapter 2 “The Earthquake”, How I decide to make my biggest dream true after experiencing the devastating 1999 Istanbul earthquake. The earthquake was a wake-up call for asking who I was, why I was on the planet and who I wanted to be. I realized that life is so precious and that every moment is a great gift. I decided to stop pleasing others for their love and to giving love and value to myself.
Chapter 3 “Growing Up, Held Down” My physically and verbally abused childhood, my aggressive dad and a victimized mom. My first emotion was fear, which controlled my life till the day of the earthquake. My conscious choice at age 3 to listen to my heart more than my mind, as opposed to my dad. Not being able to help mom who was beaten by my dad and not being able to save my brother who was tied around a tree and badly beaten made me feel guilty and “not good enough” all the time. My mother’s victim relation to God and how I was taught to fear an angry and vengeful God, along with strict religious taboos and restrictions. My loving grandmother, still a victim, but golden hearted, the only “safe” family I had. My inner promise to not grow up victimized, strictly religious and always frightened. Taught to fear sex and men, how dirty sex was, stories of honor killings by dads or brothers if a girl was too close to a boy. Sex was incredibly sinful and dirty, men were dangerous. In my teens Dad telling me that he would shoot on my legs and make me disabled if I date with a man and sleep with him to damage his honor. A young man loved me but the fear was so huge that I ran away from him. Fear so great that I ran away from men as much as I could, until my friends forced me to date with a man when I was a student in the university.
Chapter 4 “Wedding” I married my first boyfriend because my father would punish me if I did not, I had no way of finding out about him before the marriage, and I believed that a good Muslim could not reject a man just because he has diabetes, and I took pity on him. I was so naive. The wedding night was in the bedroom of my husband’s cousin so that they could see the bloody sheet that proved I was a virgin. It was horrible and I felt myself humiliated.
Chapter 5 “A New Family Member is Coming” One year into the marriage, still unsure if it could work out, I got pregnant, ending my husband’s parents pressure to prove that I was a fertile woman. I stuck with a bad marriage for 16 years for the sake of my daughter’s happiness. My daughter was a big reason for me to cling on to life and not to quit while facing a lot of obstacles on my journey. I loved my daughter more than myself and sacrificed all my life to her. I made others happy to get approval. Eventually I realized that being dependent on my child and living my life for her was the worst punishment I could gave to myself and decided to make major changes in my life.
Chapter 6 ‘A Trip to Holland” My first visit to a European country away from my homeland. I felt so peaceful, happy and free - a strange feeling which I had not experienced before. It was like being in my real home as I was feeling self love, self respect, social rights and real freedom in a country for the first time in my life. I was shocked to see that the system there was not controlling people’s preferences and choices even on sex and drugs by putting a lot restrictive rules, regulations and taboos. People were aware of their own responsibilities and no one needed to be told what to do, so different than the system in my homeland. This system looked so interesting and crazy to me but I wished I could live in such a country later.
Chapter 7 “Separation” In my culture fathers do not like their daughter to divorce because it destroys their honor in the society. My dad was not supportive to me about my separation but he was close to my husband. My husband and father tell lies to discredit me. I am very angry at males.
Chapter 8 ”The Female Body” It is not good to be born female in a Muslim country. My first menstrual experience as a teenager was scary and shameful. No one had told me what was going on in my body and I did not know what to do to stop bleeding. Being in a female body was shameful and dangerous with attention from harmful men –it is not safe to be in a female body. My first sexual experience, the pressing control of my dad on me as a girl and teenager made me reject my own biological sexuality. I closed myself to my sexual needs. The marriage was a hollow shell that looked good to the outside world but was tolerated for the sake of my daughter. This was a common situation and nobody dared talk of it.
Chapter 9 ”Divorce Case” My husband was content in a loveless marriage as long as I cooked, cleaned, and looked after our daughter. I was not. In deciding to divorce, I was true to myself for the first time in my life. My father opposes the divorce and sides with my husband to act as a witness against me. I could never understand how a dad could be so cruel to his own daughter
Chapter 10 “Dad’s Heart Attack” I lose my father, who I loved and hated at the same time, like two sides of the same coin.. Regrets about not having the chance to heal our relationship. Seeing him connected to the machines in the intensive care for 18 days was so painful. He opened his mouth and wanted to tell me something but I could not hear and understand what he was trying to tell me.
I would never know if he ever cared, loved or respected me or not. He smoked two packs of cigarettes a day, and it killed him at 62. After seeing the tubes full of black liquid coming from the machine connected to my dad’s lungs, I quit smoking
Chapter 11 ‘First Farewell” I was an overprotective mother, giving my daughter everything I felt I never got from my mother. If I could do I would breathe for her. I was living through her. Sensing the unhealthiness of this, I helped her to get accepted as a student exchange student in Texas for a year. I lived my dream of going to America through her, dreaming of the steps I could take to get there
Chapter 12 “The First Step to Freedom” I move to Istanbul, supporting my daughter through college. Struggling to find the money, the energy strength to keep pushing.
Chapter 13 “ On Line Friendship” My fear of stepping out of my comfort zone. The days and years of my life are slipping away, so I face my biggest fear, leaving my precious daughter, who I had devoted my life and soul to. I had to save my daughter and myself from being dependent on each other. I tried to find ways to reach people who lived overseas and in my dream country. I taught myself how to use the internet. I chatted online and loved the experience. Something inside was pushing me onward, pushing me hard to take my responsibility and do something for myself instead of blaming others all the time for my own problems and unhappiness.
I started dating with one of the friends I found on line. We fell in love with each other
Chapter 14 “Engagement” My online love flew to Istanbul from California for 15 days just to meet me in person. He was so happy and in love with me that he gave me a marriage proposal. I never expected that I would get a marriage proposal from him in such a short time. I had promised myself that I would not get married again and punish myself for longer years as I had done in my previous marriage and I was also scared of being hurt by another man but my heart was pushing me again to accept the marriage proposal as this was the best opportunity to my dreams. I decided to accept his proposal and give myself one more chance. My family liked him, my daughter was in shock.
Chapter 15 “Moving to My Dream Country” After my decision to get married everything accelerated. I felt as if I was on a destiny which I could not control anymore. I found a dormitory for my daughter and moved her to that dormitory. I left my daughter, my family and all my friends and all my past behind and took a plane to the United States, my dream country.
During my long flight, the pain of leaving all my beloved ones behind was so unbearable that I wanted to distract myself with my memories. I flashed back to my childhood years, my teenage and school years, my education, my marriage, my child, my divorce, my dad’s death, my move to Istanbul, my first earthquake experience and my biggest decision to change my life. It was a kind of healing process for me. I remembered my parents’ pressures on me as a girl, religious beliefs, taboos and restrictions which made me hate my female body and rejected myself as a female instead of celebrating my body. I remembered how much I felt like a stranger in my own homeland because of cultural pressures on me and inequality between men and women.
At last I started taking my own responsibility to heal my old scars, to grow up and to establish a better and happier life for myself. After I landed in my dream country my fiancée prepared a surprise for me in our new apartment. No one in my life before had prepared a surprise party or anything special for me so I felt grateful to my fiancée for being such a kind, loving and caring man. When I stepped in, I thought how long I had waited for this first step on my dreamland but here I was on my dreamland with someone I fell in love with. Wow, I am really in America, I cannot believe this now but I made it true, I am proud of myself.
If someone really wants to make a dream true she can. I proved this by making my dream true after canceling for long years but I made it before dying. It is never late to make dreams true and get your freedom. I hope people and especially women who are trying to get their freedom know this, I thought.

author bio
The author, Umit Samur was born and raised in Turkey. She is also a US citizen.
The devastation unleashed by the 1999 Istanbul earthquake struck her with the sudden realization of the frailty of life. Shaken into awareness, she decided not to put off her lifelong dream of living in the United States. This event was the tipping point in her lifelong struggle to free herself from the constrictions of her family, culture, societal and religious programming, as well as beliefs and emotions which had saturated her subconscious since childhood.
She moved to the United States in 2000 and began a new life. Her memoir, “Flight to Freedom” is the story of her climb to freedom as a woman and is the first of a planned three part series. She also wrote another book called “Fetus Knows Everything” in her first language.
She has a B.A. degree in English Linguistics, has translated works from English into Turkish as well as taught English as a Second Language and has been the head of the English Department for several schools and a Medicine Faculty.
In America, she initially taught Turkish language and culture as an Assistant Professor at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey for two years but ultimately decided to follow her passion and start her own business as an energy therapist, holistic healer and reader.
She has devoted, and continues to devote, her time and energy focusing on her own healing and spiritual growth. She first worked with James Lagiss, who was her spiritual mentor for seven years, followed by over twenty three workshops and certificates. She promotes herself on local TV stations, online, and in workshops she conducts.
She has a daughter. She loves cooking and sharing with others, so she wrote a cookbook of home-made Turkish recipes called “From My Heart to Your Kitchen”.
She is conscious that she has a responsibility to herself be in grace, and that the best way to be in the world is to be open and flexible to the changes in her life.
Her biggest dream is to help women to be independent human beings and mothers, to awaken them to their own conscious awareness of their power and their worth.
