This is a stunning story, told by a woman in a prison cell in Israel who is reflecting on her past in Palestine, Kuwait, and Jordan. This book explores the issues of race, tragedy, homosexuality, rape, and finding your identity. The plot wove together seamlessly. This is definitely a book that made me reflect, was educational, and will stick with me.
