Pamela Olson's memoir reveals the humor and beauty of Palestine and the terror and heartbreak of life under occupation, from the perspective of a small-town girl.

"It's love in the time of occupation as Pamela Olson... takes us on the emotional roller-coaster of her very personal experience of life in Ramallah - and in doing so, lays bare the human drama of a people... determined to live free."
~ Tony Karon, Senior Editor, Time Magazine
