The Other End of the Sea by Alison Glick
Following the death of her father in 1981, Becky Klein, an adventurous, naive young woman from the Midwest, sets out for the Middle East, in search of her Jewish roots. She discovers something more, in a Gaza garden near a refugee camp by the sea. There she befriends the garden's owner, a Palestinian activist who has served time in Israeli jails. As their relationship grows, Rebecca finds herself drawn into a story of roots unlike the one she had imagined. Moving, yet brimming with flashes of humor, Alison Glick's tangle with the search for purpose and commitment yields a bracing, radiant story for these times.
