This is such a beautiful story about a family from Palestine. The strength of this family after their baby gets taken, the horrors when that baby becomes a man who harms Palestinians. The strength of our main character throughout her life, the relationships she forms and cultivates and how that creates rifts between her and her daughter. This book is amazing and should be required reading.
