Mornings in Jenin

This historical fiction novel follows the multi-generational journey of the Palestinian Abulheja family over several decades. The narrative begins in 1948 in the village of Ein Hod, where a mother's infant son is snatched from her arms by soldiers. This pivotal event permanently alters the family's future, sending them on a path of displacement that spans four generations and five countries, with much of the struggle centering on the Jenin refugee camp. Caught within a protracted geopolitical conflict, the characters navigate profound loss, war, systemic oppression, and enduring love. This special fifteenth-anniversary printing includes a new introduction by the author and an integrated reading group guide.
