Crossing the Line is a human story that portrays a psychologically complex couple bucking convention and breaking the greatest taboo on both sides–loving one’s “enemy.” This compelling memoir is also a tortured love letter to the land and the two peoples that, paradoxically, both nurtured Mya and Mohamed’s relationship while simultaneously casting them out.
Author of the forthcoming memoir Crossing the Line: An Israeli-Palestinian Love Story, Mya’s first book, The Unchosen: The Lives of Israel’s New Others, was shortlisted for a Jewish Quarterly Wingate Prize. Mya’s reportage, commentary, and essays have appeared in dozens of international publications, including The New York Times, The Guardian, Politico, The Washington Post, Slate, Foreign Policy, Al Jazeera English and Haaretz.
