"By turns inpiring and heartbreaking, hopeful and horrifying, this is Abuelaish's account of a Gazan life in all its struggle and pain. A Palestinian infertility specialist who lived in Gaza but worked in Israeli hospitals, he has been crossing the lines that divide the region for most of his life. As a physician and a humanitarian, he sees the need for improved public health and education for women as the way forward in the Middle East. But it was Abuelaish's extraordinary response to the loss of his children that made news and won him humanitarian awards around the world. Instead of seeking revenge or sinking into hatred, Abuelaish is calling for the people of the Middle East to start talking to each other. His deepest hope is that his daughters will be the last sacrifice on the road to peace between Palestinians and Israelis."--Page 4 of cover.
