Weaving between heartbreak and personal and political triumph, her story sheds light on important solidarity work and organization building in the US.” — Dr. Sarah Gualtieri , Author of Arab Routes: Pathways to Syrian California 

“…a riveting, 40 year-long journey through the streets of several American cities recounting tales, both humorous and heartbreaking, that illustrate the acculturation of an idealistic but restless Palestinian woman into American life.
