Description: "In this memoir, the author, an eighth generation sabra, speaks openly and honestly about her reasons for rejecting the Zionist vision and seeking her identity, her self-expression, and her freedom abroad. Left in an orphanage when she was five, the author takes us on a journey through exile and grief to redemption - the search and rescue of the orphan she once was - the child called Haya."--BOOK JACKET.
