Crossing the Line An Israeli-Palestinian Love Story

"There are countless ways to talk about Israel and Palestine but few as moving and engrossing as this memoir. Crossing the Line is wonderful." - Junot Diaz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

"A remarkable story, beautifully told, which shows that love can transgress even the most brutal political divides." - Peter Beinart, author of Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza

"This brave and beautifully rendered memoir-narrated at the sharp edge where the political meets the personal - reckons not only with a country's borders but with the shadow lines within the self. Guarnieri writes with the lyric precision of one who has learned to translate survival into song." - Benjamin Balint, author of Kafka's Last Trial

"Crossing The Line is a genuinely singular and essential book. It is a love story unlike any other I have ever read. And it is a portrayal of the Israeli-Palestinian tragedy unlike any other I have ever read. In both ways, Mya Guarnieri has written with both lyrical compassion and unrelenting, unflinching moral integrity." - Samuel Freedman, author of Jew vs. Jew: The Struggle for the Soul of American Jewry, winner of the National Jewish Book Award
