A heartbreaking, powerful, beautifully written book about the Palestinian experience and the world's indifference to and complicity in past and present atrocities committed against the Palestinian people.
"How does one live in a world that turns away from such injustice for so long? Is this what it means to be Palestinian, Mother?"
"For if life had taught her anything, it was that healing and peace can begin only with acknowledgment of wrongs committed."
