The Secret of the Pine Tree is the result of an interview with the mother of the martyr Zeynab Kamaee. The book begins with the story a missing fourteen-year-old girl by the main storyteller. The storyteller talks about two nights of restlessness and effort along with the family and acquaintances, and then goes back to the past and takes the reader to the birth of the main storyteller of the book until the moment her daughter was missing. The book begins with a nice memoir by the main storyteller, Kobra. Next, Kobra informs the reader about the loss of those beautiful memories during the war due to the waging of the war, which means that the reader should prepare to hear the bitterness caused by the war. The news of Zeynab’s missing – on the eve of the New Year for that mat-ter, which is presented by the storyteller – clarifies the role of the pivotal character of the book for the reader. The first and second chapters of the book ends with the efforts of the storyteller and her family to find Zeynab and her spiritual ordeal, followed by the storyteller’s biography: she was the only child of her deceased parents and grew up under the supervision of a kind stepfather called Darvish. In the following, Kobra talks about her marital life, the birth of Zeynab and the memories of herself and her children about the revolution. The writer then addresses the subject of war, the difficult days that she and her family had experienced, their stay in the war-torn city and the hardships of Abadan’s people in those days and their wanderings. Finally, the book ends with describing the method of the martyrdom of Zeynab, the storyteller’s daughter.
