Non-Fiction Memoir | Thriller
David Harris-Gershon and his wife, Jamie, moved to Jerusalem
full of hope. Then, in the midst of a historic cease-fire
between Israel and the Palestinians, a bomb shrieked through
Hebrew University’s cafeteria. Jamie was hurled across the
room, her body burned and sliced with shrapnel; the friends
sitting next to her were instantly killed. David was
desperate for answers—why now? why here? why my wife? But
when a doctor handed him some shrapnel removed from Jamie’s
body, he refused to accept that this bit of metal made him
“one of us”—another traumatized victim who would never be
able to move on. Instead, he dug into Israeli government
records to uncover what triggered the attack, then returned
to East Jerusalem to meet the terrorist and his
family.
Part memoir, part political thriller, part
exposé of the conduct of the peace process, this fearless
debut confronts the personal costs of the Middle East
conflict—and reveals the human capacity for recovery and
reconciliation, no matter the circumstance.
