Author's Bio:
I was born and raised in America before I moved to Palestine in my early teens. I lived in Palestine for over 10 years and enjoyed my experience there so much that I thought I’d share it with you!

Since living there, I’ve moved to the U.K., Switzerland, and the U.S. – where I am currently based. But of all these experiences, I never seemed to feel quite as home as I did in Palestine.
From the richness of the culture to the challenging language, flavorful food, and generous souls, Palestine offers depth and meaning to those which it encounters.

My experience has connected me with some of the most amazing people! More specifically, great entrepreneurs, and other makers and shakers who have brought purpose to my life. I believe many of them, in one way or another, encouraged me to write “Far From Home.”

Far From Home is a tribute to my Teta, who helped enlighten me to the depth of our culture, and to my son, who only lived there for a short time. This book is meant to show him, and other young children, that while moving can be difficult, ‘home’ can still be found.
