All of my family of origin passed away by 2001, but in 2017, I looked at the massive paper trail left by my grandmother, mother, and father. For the first time, I discovered that the story of my adoption did not match the mountain of evidence set before me. I believe that the circumstantial evidence points to one conclusion: that I am an illegitimate daughter of the deposed shahanshah (“king of kings”) of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. This startling discovery caused me to ask myself this question: What would I think of myself if I really were the daughter of the Shah of Iran?
