The author's life story, growing up the son of Palestinians who were evicted from the home villages when Israel gained its independence, and then he and his family were evicted from their home in East Jerusalem after the 1967 war. He ends up going to prison for ten years, after a bomb his friend was assembling goes off in his home. He gets his education in prison, where the Palestinians had an orderly society, with schooling and elections for internal authority. Then, after his release he eventually ends up working for Seeds for Peace, the organization that ran a summer camp in Maine where Jewish and Muslim kids would try to get to know, learn from and understand each other.
