In this gripping and honest memoir Mira Sucharov shows what a search for political and
emotional home looks like. Sucharov suffered from childhood phobias triggered by her parents'
divorce and she sought emotional refuge in Jewish summer camp. But three years spent living in
Israel in her twenties shook her to her core. Ultimately encounters with colleagues students
friends and lovers force her to confront what it means to be able to write advocate and teach
about Israel Palestine in a way that balances affirmation with authenticity.
