In 1949, a young Palestinian girl is kidnapped by Israeli soldiers, subjected to horrific acts, then murdered. In modern day, a Palestinian woman living under Israeli occupation becomes fixated on the girl's story.

This book takes you into the world of the Nakba, an ethnic cleansing that continues to this day. I would argue there is no better time than now to read this book. It's short and engrossing, and I guarantee it will leave a mark on your heart.
