Description
A poignant and moving journey through the complexities of identity and belonging, In My Mother's Footsteps is a powerful exploration of a daughter's quest to reconnect with her Palestinian roots. Mona Hajjar Halaby's memoir takes us on a heart-wrenching journey, tracing the story of a family torn apart by war and exile, and the daughter's quest to rediscover her mother's beloved homeland. With cherished letters from her mother, Mona embarks on a personal pilgrimage to find her mother's home in militarized and occupied Jerusalem, a place she never knew. As Mona finally visits Jerusalem with her mother, after fifty-nine years of exile, she holds her mother's hand as they navigate the winding cobblestone alleys of the Old City. A powerful and emotional story of love, loss, and healing, In My Mother's Footsteps is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the complexities of identity and belonging.
