Description: Palestine, 1948. As the war ravages the now divided nation, twin infant brothers in a burned-up convoy are unknowingly separated. One is collected by a Palestinian family on the run, the other by a freshly settled Jewish couple. The twins spend their lives on either side of the divide, fearing, hating, and fighting the enemy in an ever increasing spiral of violence where death and sorrow are part of everyday life. As the years go by, and the conflict rages on, war after war, their torment continues... Will fate bring them together, just as it drove them apart? What if it did?--Cover.
