Book Event: Mya Guarnieri with Alex Kane

Mya Guarnieri presents Crossing the Line: An Israeli-Palestinian Love Story

In conversation with Alex Kane

Wine reception to follow
Journalist and writer Mya Guarnieri's memoir Crossing the Line is the story of a real-life Romeo and Juliet: herself, a Jewish American immigrant to Israel lecturing at a Palestinian university, and Mohamed, a fellow journalist and the son of a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization. This timely memoir chronicles how, despite the Israeli-built separation barrier that stood between them, Mya and Mohamed managed to meet, fall in love, and overcome the external and internal obstacles that threatened to keep them apart. In a dark moment in the long history of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, Crossing the Line is a universal story about the challenges of overcoming our innermost emotional barriers and making ourselves vulnerable to love. Alex Kane, senior reporter at Jewish Currents, joins Guarnieri for a reading and discussion, before an audience Q&A and signing.
