Sponsored by What Makes Us by Rafi Mittlefehldt
Eran Sharon knows nothing of his father. Now a senior in high school and living with his protective but tight-lipped mother, Eran is a passionate young man deeply interested in social justice . He organizes a peaceful protest but when heated moment at the protest goes viral, a reporter connects the Sharon family to a tragedy fifteen years earlier — and asks if Eran is anything like his father, a supposed terrorist. Soon enough, Eran is wondering the same thing. Timely and powerful, this novel confronts the prejudices, fears, and strengths of family and community, striking right to the heart of what makes us who we are.
