When American writer Stephanie Saldana finds herself in an empty house at the beginning of Nablus Road, the dividing line between East and West Jerusalem, she is a new wife trying to navigate a fragile terrain, both within her marriage and throughout the country in which she has chosen to live. Pregnant with her first child, Stephanie struggles to protect her family, their faith, and herself from the cracks of Middle Eastern conflict that threaten to shatter the world around her. But as her due date approaches, she must reconcile herself with her choice to bring a child into a dangerous world. Determined to piece together life from the brokenness, she sets out to uncover small instances of beauty to balance the delicate coexistence between love, motherhood, and a country so often at war. In an urban valley in Jerusalem, A Country Between captures the fragile ecosystem of the Middle East and the difficult first years of motherhood in the midst of a conflict-torn city. What unfolds is a celebration of faith, language, family, and love that fills the space between what was shattered, leaving us whole once more.

This is a truly beautiful story, full of joy, pain, love, loss and all that life holds. the narrator took awhile to get used to, but eventually I found her voice endearing. I enjoyed her accents, I feel they added to the richness of the story telling

Incredible Memoir, beautiful writing

Nice storyline maybe a bit belabored. Could do without the accents that are really not authentic and distract from the story itself.

The accents are really annoying!

This story is about love! the author opens your eyes to the humanity of the "Middle East Crisis" by sharing her story of life and love. writing to her son so he knows his past and story, she opened my eyes to how hate not only breaks apart countries, cities and homes, it destroys all.

Amazing Letter to a Son
