Revealing and poignant, Crossing the Line is the true story of a pair of star-crossed lovers—Mya, an American-Israeli immigrant woman, and Mohamed, the son of a Palestine Liberation Organization member who was deported by the Israelis from the West Bank in the 1970s. With a reporter’s eye for detail and a storyteller’s knack for nuance, 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.
