“Noa Baum spreads cultural truths that eclipse geopolitical boundaries…”
The Washington Post

“In this touching and honest memoir, Baum shares the story of how her search for peace informed her life… Baum’s genuine desire to make a difference may well inspire others to do the same.”
Publishers Weekly

“A penetrating, introspective memoir that mines the depths of the chasm between the Israeli and Palestinian experiences, the torment of family loss and conflict, and the therapy of storytelling as a cleansing art. You will not think in the same way at the end of this captivating book as you did at the beginning.”
David K. Shipler, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Arab and Jew: Wounded Spirits in a Promised Land
