Barbara Goldscheider is an Israeli-American who lived in Jerusalem for twelve years and served in Sar-El (a volunteer branch of the Israeli Defense Forces) on army bases in the Golan Heighs, Haifa, and Ashkelon.

She holds a B.A. in English Literature from the University of Rhode Island and now lives in Bangor, Maine.
Barbara Goldscheider's fine first novel gets you inside the minds of both Jewish and Palestinian individuals whose lives are inescapably caught up in the Middle East conflict. This is a story of tender and passionate love, of home, and of deep tragedy. At the same time, the author, through her characters, views the current conflict from both sides and presents thoughtful dialogues on its origin, why it has continued for so long, and what must be done if it is to be resolved. -G. William Farthing, author of The Psychology of Consciousness
