Tralee, Ireland. September 1948.
An arrogant, and highly agitated, priest arrives home after 40 years.
Days later he's dead. Suicide? Or did his past catch up with him?
Former resident and expellee of Neve Dekalim Gush Katif, Israel.
Travel beyond time and beyond location - into my Gush Katif.
Background
Information
Israel's unilateral withdrawal from the Gaza Strip - Gush Katif motivated me to write my debut historic novel, GRAINS OF SAND: THE FALL OF NEVE DEKALIM. I felt an urge to set down on paper, blue ink on white pages, what I was experiencing. I hope that my book will enable people to understand what we, the people of Gush Katif, went through. I hope to put a human face on what have been just facts, numbers. And I hope that the person reading my novel will, for a few hours, travel beyond time and beyond location - into my Gush Katif.
Accomplishments
"Fronds in the Breeze" won first place runnerup in a youth contest.
A recipient of the "Letter of Academic Excellence" from the Israeli Ministry of Education.
