.. We never set eyes on Fatima or our dog or the city we had known ever again. Like a body prematurely buried, unmourned withpot coffin or ceremony, our hasty untidy exit from Jerusalem was no way to have said goodbye to our home, our country and all that we knew and loved.
Love was a verb with a certain amount of energy attached to it - a daily quota - and you had to choose on whom you wanted to spend this energy. That was love. That was why people had to pray for it. If it were not finite, no one would pine for love in their lives - they would just wait to receive or learn to give.
I think each family has a funhouse logic all its own, and in that distortion, in that delusion, all behavior can seem both perfectly normal and crazy.

Life is worth living and no matter what it throws at you it is important to keep your eyes on the prize of the happiness that will come.

The writer's business is to find the shape in unruly life and to serve her story.
Memoir is not an act of history but an act of memory, which is innately corrupt.
Betrayal is sacred when the heart can encompass the whole.
My mother taught me that an important word in any language is while. While one thing is happening so is another. While someone is in darkness another is in daylight. While person dies another is born.
.. My sisters are tough. Our strength is in our laughter (Dan)
Had I glimpsed just a little of the suffering I would witness and the heartbreak I would endure, I would have fled in the other direction.. But I could not foresee any of these things.. And many years later, with tears in my eyes, I remembered my decision to follow this God no matter what the cost.

As the lights fade to a distant glow, I look back toward the city and imagine, somewhere in all of those lives, a little girl who is a lot like me.
