STORY BEHIND THE BOOK

In a conversation with who is now a former friend, she said "Actually, on this piece of land, there has been everything EXCEPT a Palestinian country. Never was a single entity called 'Palestine.'" Her words left me speechless, as I grappled with the enormity of the history and emotions involved. There were literally not enough words to use to respond to her, so I decided to respond with something bigger and more impactful... THIS BOOK.

“There was never a country called Palestine,” you say?
THIS is Palestine…THEY are Palestine!
