Christa Bruhn was my student back in the 1980s. I remember very well the first time I met her. She told me she had lived for a semester in Gaza. I have been to Gaza twice and did not consider it a place for a young American woman to be spending a semester. But Christa was never able to get Palestine out of her soul.

This is her own story of her life-long engagement with a land and a people whose survival is not guaranteed. In time she fell in love with a Palestinian student she met in the US. She moved with him to Jenin where she became fully integrated into her new Palestinian family.

Christa shares amazing insights from her years in that land. I found it easy and very rewarding to interview her about her life and her book.

This interview is over an hour long but you will be glad you listened.
