In August 2005, Sarah Dakar didn't lose only the home she loved in Gush Katif, a Jewish settlement in Gaza, she lost her faith in God, her country and humanity.

How could God have mercilessly allowed her own army to drag her out of her home? And how could her fellow citizens have cheered on the destruction of her beloved seaside community?

Her quest for her true voice leads her to the dance floor of Tel Aviv's hottest nightclub, Atlantis, and in the arms of its charismatic owner, Ziv Harel. Ziv is more than glad to transform a "religious settler" into a nightlife queen, but how far will Sarah go to question who she is - and at what cost?Order your copy now and journey with Sarah through the diverse and tumultuous backdrop of the war between Israel and Gaza.
