About This Book
In this thought-provoking account of the author's four-month stay on a kibbutz in Israel, she, her Israeli-born husband, and their two small sons have come from their home in Hawaii for an extended visit with relatives. Thus begins her struggle to understand the complexity of social and political life in Israel, and how this will ultimately impact her family.
From an "outsider yet insider" point of view, she wrestles daily with the inconsistencies that make life in Israel at once so vital and so unsettling, simultaneously exposing the parochialism of Israeli perspectives and the sheltered existence of many white, Christian Americans.
