?Susan Abulhawa possesses the heart of a warrior . . . A major writer of our time, to read [her] is to begin to understand not simply the misinformation we have received for decades about what has gone on in Palestine and the Middle East, but to come to terms with our own resistance to feeling the terror of our own fear of Truth.?Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prizewinning author of Taking the Arrow Out of the HeartIn the refugee camp of Jenin, Amal is born into a world of lossof home, country, and heritage. Her Palestinian family was driven from their ancestral village by the newly formed state of Israel in 1948. As the villagers fled that day, Amal's older brother, just a baby, was stolen away by an Israeli soldier. In Jenin, the adults subsist on memories, waiting to return to the homes they love. Amal's mother has walled away her heart with grief, and her father labors all day. But in the fleeting peacefulness of dawn, he reads to his young daughter daily, and she can feel his love for her, 'as big as the ocean and all its fishes.' On those quiet mornings, they dream together of a brighter future.This is Amal's story, the story of one family's struggle and survival through over sixty years of the PalestinianIsraeli conflict, carrying us from Jenin to Jerusalem, to Lebanon and the anonymity of America. It is a story shaped by scars and fear, but also by the transformative intimacy of marriage and the fierce protectiveness of motherhood. It is a story of faith, forgiveness, and lifesustaining love.Mornings in Jenin is haunting and heartwrenching, a novel of vital contemporary importance. Lending human voices to the headlines, it forces us to take a fresh look at one of the defining political conflicts of our lifetimes.
