The Other End of the Sea, by Alison Glick

A moving love story that powerfully depicts life of Palestinians under occupation and in exile

Summer, 1981. Following the death of her father, Becky, an adventurous, naive young woman from the Midwest, sets out for the Middle East, in search of her Jewish roots. She finds them, growing in a Gaza garden near a refugee camp by the sea. There she befriends the garden's owner, a Palestinian activist who has served time in Israeli jails. As their relationship grows, she finds herself drawn into a story unlike the one she had expected to discover. The West Bank, Cairo, Yarmouk, Benghazi—before long, their romance careens across a region in flames, child in tow, struggling with old maps of family and kinship.

Alison Glick's tumultuous, at times comical, heartbreaking love story battles its way to a search for purpose, for commitment to something much greater than ourselves.
