Publisher's Synopsis
Jewellery designer, Maisoon, wants an ordinary extraordinary life, which isn't easy for a tradition-defying, activist, Palestinian citizen of Israel who refuses to be crushed by the feeling that she is an unwelcome guest in the land of her ancestors. Maisoon volunteers for Machsom Watch, a movement of peace activists who conduct daily observations of the Israel Defence Forces checkpoints. Frustrated by the apathy of her boyfriend Ziyad and her father Majid-who want her to get on with her life and forget those in the Occupied Territories-she lashes out, only to discover her father isn't the man she thought he was.
