description: This is the voice of a wife and mother, an American expatriate living with her Palestinian husband and their young children in occupied Bethlehem during the incursions of the Israeli army following the uprising known as the Al Aqsa Intifada. Alison describes the daily existence of innocent Palestinian civilians—a life of curfews, checkpoints, and closures, which produce relentless fear and humiliation. Her e-mail journal reveals her attempt to find reason for hope that one day normalcy will come to the land called Holy. *Study guide available.
