"What would it be like to live with terrorism day in and day out? To bury loved ones week in and week out? What would it be like to be an ex-American, raising five children in Hebron, miles from the West Bank of Israel?".

"Living in the midst of violence, June Leavitt has written a disturbingly candid diary of eighteen months of the Intifada in Israel, recording the appalling events that were happening around her. For the past two years she has seen and lived through unimaginable, and unceasing, terror. She has had to raise a family of witnesses to gunnings, suicide bombers, failed peace processes, and the escalation of Arab terrorism.

Although she tries to keep herself sane in a "gyre of internal doubts and external turbulence," her diary cannot gloss over the reality it describes."--BOOK JACKET.
