Once again, I'm a lucky girl. This was another Goodreads giveaway. The only problem with this Uncorrected Proof is that there are no dedications, epigraphs, or author notes. I'll have to get a library copy to see what those were!
I loved this beautiful story of a young mother struggling to make sense of her life. As in her previous book, she looks at Palestinian Americans, a group I know little of.
