My Blood, My Land: The Saga

by Richard J Reese

MY BLOOD, MY LAND is a saga of two families and the beloved land neither can part with. Trapped by the violent histories and tragic memories they share, the two patriarchs will continue the war their ancestors started more than a century ago. Rav Yoav Rabinowitz and Sheikh Faisal Fawza struggle to keep the land that each believes is rightfully theirs and was given by the god they worship. The stakes are never higher. The land they call in Hebrew, "Ezzor Yehuda ve-Shomron", or the Arabic, "Yahuda was-Samerah"--Judea and Samaria--can only belong to one family or the other but not to both. From the classrooms of the Julliard School in New York to the Conservatory of Music in Ramallah and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra concert stage, two artists collide because of a magnificent violin when Max Richards and Lailah Fawza confront their own demons and hatreds. Mohammed Fawza and David Steiner duel over the fate of Israel and Palestine in their battle over who will possess Washington's corridors of power. And in Gaza, Aziz al-Rantisi and Yasser Arafat will witness the Evacuation of Jewish settlers ordered by Ariel Sharon who forces them to relocate elsewhere in the Judean Hills. MY BLOOD, MY LAND brings to life the real Middle East and why Palestine and Israel matter to the world.
