Fascinating look into an Israeli woman's life. I learned so much about the history of Israel and the Jewish people that I hadn't known before. So interesting and well written.

Anyone who has the slightest question about Israel’s right to exist should read this book. What was done to Holocaust survivors by the British was just horrific and reprehensible. I have actually been to Atlit, where Raquela worked as a nurse-midwife, so I could very easily picture it in my mind as she was describing it. I remembering thinking when I was there how utterly atrocious it was to take Holocaust survivors at lock them up in over-crowded barracks behind barbed wire, in what was rightfully their own land no less! This is a riveting read. It was an amazing time and Raquela was an incredible woman.
