Though her father grew up there, Liyana knows very little about her familyâs Arab heritage. Her grandmother and the rest of her relatives who live in the West Bank are strangers and speak a language she canât understand. It isnât until she meets Omer that her homesickness fades. But Omer is Jewish, and their friendship is silently forbidden in this land. How can they make their families understand? And how can Liyana ever learn to call this place home?
