On the way, his bus collides with a semitrailer in a horrific accident. His father, Abed, gets word of the crash and rushes to the site. The scene is chaos - the children have been taken to different hospitals in Jerusalem and the West Bank; some are missing, others cannot be identified. Abed sets off on an odyssey to learn Milad's fate. It is every parent's worst nightmare, but for Abed it is compounded by the maze of physical, emotional, and bureaucratic obstacles he must navigate because he is Palestinian. He is on the wrong side of the separation wall, holds the wrong ID to pass the military checkpoints, and has the wrong papers to enter the city of Jerusalem. Abed's quest to find Milad is interwoven with the stories of a cast of Jewish and Palestinian characters whose lives and histories unexpectedly converge: a kindergarten teacher and a mechanic who rescue children from the burning bus; an Israeli army commander and a Palestinian official who confront the aftermath at the scene of the crash; a settler paramedic; ultra-Orthodox emergency service workers; and two mothers who each hope to claim one severely injured boy. Immersive and gripping, this is an indelibly human portrait of the Jewish-Palestinian struggle that offers a new understanding of the tragic history and reality of one of the most contested places on earth. -- |cAdapted from publisher's description. 600 10 Salama, Abed. |=^A1463562 650 0 Jewish-Arab relations. |=^A23348 650 0 Palestinian Arabs |zIsrael |xSocial conditions. |=^A1133674 650 0 Parental grief |zIsrael. |=^A1288778 650 0 Arab-Israeli conflict |y1993- |=^A415091 651 0 Jerusalem |xSocial conditions. |=^A67151 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / World / Middle Eastern. |2bisacsh 650 7 Arab-Israeli conflict. |2fast 650 7 Jewish-Arab relations. |2fast 650 7 Palestinian Arabs |xSocial conditions. |2fast 650 7 Parental grief. |2fast 650 7 Social conditions. |2fast 651 7 Israel. |2fast |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 7 Middle East |zJerusalem. |2fast |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 Since 1993 |2fast 776 08 |iOnline version:Thrall, Nathan. |tDay in the life of Abed Salama. |bFirst edition |dNew York : Metropolitan Books, Henry Holt and Company, 2023 |z9781250854988 |w(DLC) 2023017071 949 Order on Demand |wASIS |hJOYNER219 960 |o1 |s29.99 |uJHIS |zUSD 961 |fDMD |m138099 596 1 998 6275228
