Imm Mathilda gives the reader a front-row seat to observe the
tragedies occurring in Palestine today. It offers both an opportunity
to hear the personal accounts that humanize the situation and the
factual reports of this little-understood conflict. And it is a page-
turner as well! a "must read." Jerri Bird, President, Partners for
Peace.

Alison Jones Nassar has written a fascinating account of life under
Israeli attack and occupation. It is a book that should be read by
every member of Congress. Jim Abourezk, Former U.S. Senator from
South Dakota

Alison Jones Nassar is a voice in the wilderness that must be heard,
the voice of a wife and mother, an American expatriate living with
her Palestinian husband and their young children in occupied
Bethlehem during the brutal incursions of the Israeli army following
the uprising known as the Al Aqsa Intifada. Jones Nassar is a
Christian writing with a passionate zeal for justice and truth. Hers
is a voice with an overwhelming responsibility-to defend a people
unjustly portrayed as "terrorists." Sister Elaine Kelley,
Administrative Officer, Friends of Sabeel--North America

For those who have the courage to hear "the other side of the story,"
Allison Jones Nassar describes the daily existence of innocent
Palestinian civilians. It is a life of curfews, checkpoints and
closures which produces relentless humiliation and fear. There will
be a just peace in the Middle East only when voices such as Nassar's
are heard, and the oppression of daily violence can cease. Bishop
Margaret Payne, New England Synod of the ELCA

Alison writes as an ordinary person, a wife and mother, who is just
trying to manage from day to day under seemingly hopeless
circumstances, trying to find meaning in the distress of every day.
Her writing is powerful. It is filled with passion and poetry.
Charles P. Lutz, retired social ministry executive.
