Reviews

[Lorna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well written and thought provoking. One man's journey to discover his identity. Rich with both Jewish and Arab culture, and both psychological and spiritual insights.

David Richards, who was adopted as a very young child later finds out that he was born a Jew, and had been rescued after a mine killed his father and left his mother in a coma for months. His struggle to find out who he really is and whether he should follow his Jewish customs or American customs leads him to Israel. Quite an interesting story.
