A beautiful and inspiring memoir about finding love and a home in a war zone
Moving

her family to a war zone was not a simple choice, but she's determined to find

hope, love, and peace amid the conflict in the Middle East.

When young mother Stephanie Saldana finds herself in

an empty house at the beginning of Nablus road-the dividing line between East

and West Jerusalem-she sees more than a Middle Eastern flash point. She sees

what could be home.

Before her eyes, the fragile community of Jerusalem

opens, and she starts to build her family to outlast the chaos. But as her son

grows, so do the military checkpoints and bomb sirens, and Stephanie must learn

to bridge the gap between safety and home, always questioning her choice to

start her family and raise her child in a country at war.

A Country Between is a celebration of

faith, language, and family-and a mother's discovery of how love can fill the

spaces between what was once shattered, leaving us whole once more.
