Melody Sullivan is falling apart after the death of her mother. The
16-year-old pours her cynicism and grief into poetry and an intense
relationship with her powerhouse best friend, Yasmina Khdour. When
Melody's father drags her to an overseas archeology conference in
Jerusalem, she is left to wander alone. Hanging out on a Tel Aviv
beach, smoking dope with her Israeli cousins and their army
buddies, sounds like fun until she is sexually assaulted by a
friend of her cousin. She cannot share this devastating truth with
her emotionally distant dad and impulsively flees to Hebron where
Yasmina is visiting her family. As a Palestinian, Yasmina is unable
to enter Jerusalem. Melody's only other source of solace is Aaron
Shapiro, a shy, religious boy back home with an awkward crush on
her, but Aaron's anxious texts make it clear he believes she's
wandering into enemy territory. This is a story about trauma and
taking emotional risks, about facing internal demons and the
external realities of war and occupation, about finding oneself in
the most unexpected places.
