Lloyd Johnson creates a new way of looking at the tumult in the Holy Land. --SAMI AWAD, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HOLY LAND TRUST, BETHLEHEM Lloyd Johnson knows what he writes, and he writes it beautifully. --GALE FIEGE, THE DAILY HERALD Sabria's story encapsulates the denied and forgotten horrors of the Palestine 1948 catastrophe. Lloyd Johnson provides us with a powerful and well researched narrative that no decent person will be able to ignore. This fictional story, based on true events, will help the readers to understand, and I am quite confident also sympathize, with the Palestinian struggle for peace and justice in the holy land. --Ilan Pappe, Ph.D., Jewish Historian, Chair in History, University of Exeter, England Once again Lloyd Johnson has created a beautiful and poignant parable to bring to reality the complexity and the human failings at work in the Holy Land. His approach is to lead you deeper into knowledge through story. I highly recommend this book. --The Rt. Rev. Gregory H. Rickel, Bishop of Olympia, Washington Lloyd Johnson has taken significant historical events and made them come alive through a fascinating story that many will identify with as they recall their own experiences with cultural, political and relationship struggles. This beautifully descriptive narrative weaves historical facts with fictional dialogue in a way that makes these events come alive for the reader. This important book intersperses important events that have shaped the lives of Israelis and Palestinians with a fictional representation of efforts to bridge the cultural and political divides that exist in the Holy Land. --Dr. Rod Schofield, Consultant to the Schools of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Jordan and the Holy Land
