What Do You Buy the Children of the Terrorist Who Tried to Kill Your Wife? A Memoir

"David Harris-Gershon's prose and storytelling abilities are matched only by his deep and moving compassion and humanity, all of which spill out on every page of this amazing book. He reminds us, in ways both political and personal, of the importance of reconciliation even in the face of personal, national, and international tragedy. His voice is a courageous one in the search for a just and lasting peace, not only in Israel/Palestine but anywhere in the world." Tim Wise, author of White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son "This book is an act of forgiveness. It does what all great non-fiction does, which is to look with ruthless honesty at that which is most beautiful and terrible within all of us - friend, enemy, lover, stranger. A beautifully written, brave and compassionate book." Sarah Messer, author of Red House "An immensely compelling and intelligent memoir that leads the reader through anger and confusion toward reconciliation and hope." Richard Zimler, author of The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon and The Warsaw Anagrams "An emotional coming-to-terms with Jewish identity, all the while sifting through the political stalemate and outright hostility between the two sides - An arduous, brave, messy, raw, emotional journey."
