In her insightful debut novel about a journey of self-discovery in Israel and Gaza as viewed through the eyes of a Palestinian boy, American Jewish author Michelle Cohen Corasanti explores the universal themes of hope, peace and the triumph of the human spirit against adversity. “Although written from a Palestinian perspective, the story is intended to be apolitical,” according to Cohen Corasanti. “Rather than focusing on people’s differences, the protagonist finds commonality in those he encounters.” Cohen Corasanti believes it is important in conflict resolution to put oneself in the shoes of the other.
